I’m constantly exploring how art can be a medium for capturing and recreating the feeling of a moment. I make work that is vibrant and playful, hoping to leave the viewer with a sense of familiarity, intrigue, and nostalgia. The result is a reflection of my inner self and thoughts. Spanning from papermaking, illustration, zines, and collage—with a heavy influence of the digital—the objects I create are interactive, highly textured, and draw from reused and recycled materials.

The creative process is something everyone should enjoy, with my work, I hope to embody that essence and invite people into my world.

Kianni Bey

Studio Fellow 2021

Kianni Bey’s work investigates the construction of identity in a methodological way, through exploration of personal and familial histories, collaborative world building, and emergent methods of survival from Black women and femme-identified people. Her practice aims to uplift, empower, and exist as a safe space for Black and femme bodied people, driven by a desire to expand the narrative surrounding marginalized lives. Kianni’s practice consists of lens based bodies of work that visualize liberated futures and aesthetics by creating thresholds or portals to other realities.
