Alice Duncan (b.1991) is a photographer, artist and teacher based between Larrakia (Darwin) and Naarm (Melbourne) in Australia. Through her photographic practice, Alice exposes the multifaceted, ever-changing, and constructed nature of personal and cultural identities. Using a combination of past (analogue) and present (digital) photographic techniques, she layers images with past and present Australian histories to visualize the complexities of collectively living on colonised land.
Alice’s work has been exhibited across Australia and internationally, including at Cité Internationale des Arts (Paris), York Gallery of Art (UK), Pingyao Photography Festival (China), Bus Projects (Melbourne) and Queensland Centre for Photography.
In 2022, Alice was the recipient of the Nicolas Baudin Scholarship and undertook an artist-in-residency at the Cité des Arts in Paris, supported by the Institut Français. She has also been an artist in residence at AARK in Finland and the IFAM in Berlin.
Her work has been featured in The Guardian, HAPAX Magazine and Art and Australia Magazine among others. In 2021, Alice was named in the ‘125 Contemporary Artists to Watch’ by Aesthetica Magazine (UK). Alice has been the recipient of an Ian Potter Cultural Trust grant (2023) and the Colin Nettlebeck Award (2022). Her work has been shortlisted for the Aesthetica Art Prize (2021), the Black Prize (2021) and the Wyndham Art Prize amongst others.
Alice lectures in photography at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and also facilitates film photography workshops for young people in remote communities in Australia through the organization Our Land, Our Lens.
