Bio:

Elizabeth Flinsch is an artist, curator, and the editor of SHOTS Magazine based in Saint Paul, Minnesota. SHOTS Magazine is an independent print journal of black and white photography founded in 1986. Over the past decade, Elizabeth has also led photography workshops, guided artists in designing and publishing photo books, and otherwise sought ways to revision her own relationship to photography.

She is deeply committed to her vision for the photography landscape as a more equitable realm for woman identified, queer, and BIPOC artists.
