Artist Talk with Priya Kambli

Wednesday, July 29, 2020
6:00 - 7:00 PM PST

On Wednesday, July 29th SF Camerawork was pleased to present an online artist talk with Priya Kambli, who shared work from her series Buttons for Eyes. Priya Kambli was born in Mumbai, India. She moved to the United States at age 18 carrying her entire life in one suitcase that weighed about 20 lbs. She began her artistic career in the States and her work has always been informed by the loss of her parents, her experience as a migrant, and an archive of family photographs and artifacts she brought with her to America. For the past decade, this archive has been her primary source material in creating bodies of work which explore the migrant narrative and challenges of cross-cultural understanding.
