Artist
Tommy Kha
Tommy Kha’s work is a mapping of Asian Diaspora and possible spaces for queerness. He is interested in photographic imaging of Otherness. In his practice, he often rephotographs cutouts to create pictures that straddle between self-portrait, still life, and landscape. Kha’s work is a continuation of his mother’s photographs from in 1984—a year after she fled Vietnam. His mother’s images depict gatherings, celebration, and liberation, whereas Kha’s picture making is performative and collaborative.
Tommy Kha has exhibited work at Blue Sky Gallery, Portland; International Festival of Fashion, Photography and Fashion, Hyères, France; Baxter Street at Camera Club of New York, among others.

Artist
Kubra Khademi
Kubra Khademi considers herself as a multidisciplinary artist. Interested in subjects of female identity such as sexuality, she has—for the past few years—been creating performances and performative videos where her body is always at the center. Recently, using personal stories as raw material for art, she has returned to her drawing practices of self-portraits and images of women.
Kubra Khademi has exhibited work at Galerie Eric Mouchet, Paris; MUCEM, Marseille; and Palais de Tokyo, Paris, among others.
