Melissa Kreider is an MFA student at the University of Iowa and holds a BFA in Photography from the University of Akron. Melissa's work examines sites of sexual violence against women and how the justice system archives these reports as well as the evidence that is collected. Melissa explores these subjects by traveling to the addresses pulled from public police logs across the United States and steadily gaining access to police evidence rooms where backlogged rape kits are stored. Melissa is the founder and curator of Don't Smile, an online space dedicated to showcasing photography by women artists.
