Continuing the Spring 2022 Photography Lecture Series, the MassArt Graduate Programs and the department of Photography are pleased to welcome Priya Kambli.  Please join us via Zoom at 2pm EST on Tuesday, April 26.

 

Priya Kambli received her BFA at the University of Louisiana in Lafayette and an MFA from the University of Houston. She is currently Professor of Art at Truman State University in Kirksville, Missouri.

 

Kambli’s work inadvertently examines the question asked by her son Kavi at age three; did she belong to two different worlds, since she spoke two different languages? The essence of his question continues to be a driving force in her art making. In her work, Kambli has always strived to understand the formation and erasure of identity that is an inevitable part of the migrant experience, exploring the resulting fragmentation of family, identity, and culture.

 

Kambli’s artwork has been well received, having been exhibited, published, collected and reviewed in the national and international photographic community. She was the winner of the inaugural Aperture and Google's Creator Labs Photo Fund and The Magenta Foundation’s Un-Stuck grant. She is also the winner of the 2021 Individual Artist Outstanding Artist by the Missouri Arts Council, the state’s highest honor in the arts. The success of Kambli’s work underlines the fact that she is engaged in an important dialogue, and reinforces her intent to make work driven by a growing awareness of the importance of many voices from diverse perspectives and the political relevance of our private struggles. 

 

*All Photography lectures are free and open to the public. Please note that all lectures will be held virtually on Zoom for the Spring 2022 semester.
