Hady Barry is a Guinean-American artist who works with photography, text, and sound to explore memory, selfhood, and her intimate bonds. She remembers too much and her work reflects that—introspective, haunting, and deeply personal.
Her debut photobook, i am (not) your mother, received the Juror's Special Mention at the 2024 Aperture Photobook Awards. In 2022, she was a finalist for the Vantage Point Sharjah Award, a Juror’s Pick for the LensCulture Black and White Photography Awards, and earned an Honorable Mention from the Hariban Award. Barry’s work has been exhibited internationally, including by the National Portrait Gallery in the UK and the Sharjah Art Foundation in the UAE.
Hady is a proud member of African Women in Photography. She holds degrees from Georgetown University (B.S. in Economics with a Certificate in African Studies.) and UC Berkeley-Haas (M.B.A.).
She lives and works between Leesburg (VA, USA) and Abidjan (Côte d’Ivoire).
