Katie Sikora

Katie Sikora graduated with a degree in Visual Journalism from the University of Miami and worked as a Photo Editor in Door County, Wisconsin, a Media Strategist in Chicago, and as an Archivist at The National World War II Museum in New Orleans before pivoting to freelance photography and journalism with heavy focuses on the environment and music. She is the creator of The Sexism Project, a portrait and interview series featuring stories from female-presenting music industry professionals and sex workers. In 2020, Katie co-founded Feed The Front Line NOLA to buy meals from local restaurants that were closed due to the pandemic and hire laid-off musicians and artists to deliver food to overworked area hospitals, documenting the initiative for six weeks straight. Later that year, she received a grant from the Pulitzer Center to photograph the recovery from back-to-back Hurricanes Laura and Delta in Lake Charles, Louisiana.
