Photographer Priya Kambli will present the next lecture of the Hixson-Lied Visiting Artists and Scholars Lecture Series at 5:30 p.m. Nov. 10 in Richards Hall, Room 15. The lecture is free and open to the public.
Kambli’s work is rooted in her fascination in the intersection between her parents’ lives in India and her own in the U.S. For Kambli, photography is a means to bridge the gap between two cultures, come to terms with the effects of displacement and to illuminate connections between the past and present.
Kambli is a professor of art at Truman State University in Kirksville, Missouri. Her work has been featured in solo and group exhibitions in the U.S. and abroad, including El Museo Nacional de la Fotografía de Bogotá, The Houston Center for Photography, The Center for Photography at Woodstock, SF Camerawork and The Silver Eye Center for Photography. She has received numerous grants and awards, including the En Foco New Works Photography Award Fellowship, the Photolucida Book Award and The Houston Center for Photography Photographic Fellowship. She has also been an Artist-in-Residence at Light Work and The Center for Photography at Woodstock.
Her photographs are featured in both public and private collections including The Museum of Contemporary Photography. Her monograph, “Color Falls Down,” was published in 2010.
The Hixson-Lied Visiting Artist and Scholar Lecture Series of the University of Nebraska–Lincoln’s School of Art, Art History and Design brings notable artists, scholars and designers to campus each semester to enhance the education of students. Each visiting artist or scholar spends one to three days on campus to meet with classes, participate in critiques and give demonstrations. Every visiting artist or scholar gives at least one major lecture that is free and open to the public.
The remaining lecture in the series this fall is:
• Chris Gustin and Gerit Grimm, ceramics, at 5:30 p.m. Nov. 15 in Richards Hall, Room 15. Their visit is sponsored primarily by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Clay Club. Gustin is one of the leading ceramists of his generation with more than 40 solo exhibitions at leading institutions and galleries throughout the world. Grimm is assistant professor of art at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
