Our Digital Residencies are a paid 1-week residency, shared on our Instagram account and archived in the IG Highlights. Artists share their inspiration, studio practice, and a final culminating work is unveiled at the end of the week. Kat Thompson is a multidisciplinary artist working in Virginia. Thompson works with photography, textiles, collages, and installations. She then combines these mediums to explore notions of Afro-Caribbean selfhood within the African Diaspora. Being of Jamaican heritage, Thompson confronts her dual identity through recent projects that depict traces of her family’s journey through personal and found materials. Her focus is to uncover stories that mirror parts of ourselves back to us, including our histories, current realities, and future possibilities. Click here to learn more.
