Allyson Elly has been invited to join an exclusive cohort of artists for “Reservoir,” a new photographic generator created by the Los Angeles Center of Photography (LACP). The program, designed as a shared repository of responses to the global crisis of loneliness, is an invite-only initiative.
Elly was personally selected by renowned artist Rodrigo Valenzuela to participate in his cohort, which will explore the theme of “strangers in a strange land,” addressing issues of alienation and dislocation from homeland, family, or beliefs.
From January to September 2025, Elly and her fellow cohort members will engage in talks, critiques, creative circles, and collaborative explorations. The project will culminate in a book and an exhibition at LACP’s gallery in Downtown Los Angeles.
