Sewing New Seeds with Kimberly M. Anderson

Join us via Zoom Wednesday, November 9th, at 7 pm ET

Kimberly M. Anderson’s multidimensional work explores themes of Black family history, folklore, imagination & spirituality. By combining photography, collage, and alternative processes, Kim creates visual portals through which she examines the value & volatility of memory. In her collage work, Kim creates alternate worlds guided by celestial and ancestral realms. Most recently, Kim has connected her process with the land through the incorporation of plants and fibers as a way to ground both the work and herself. Through her ongoing practice, Kim uses historical knowledge of the past to sow new seeds that inform the future.

Kimberly M. Anderson is a Brooklyn-based visual artist with ancestral roots in Richmond/Dinwiddie, Virginia, and Marion, South Carolina.

Her work combines photography and collage in a practice that examines themes of history and identity. She explores the intricacies of her own family oral history and the importance of Black lore while examining how fragile and susceptible to disappearance these memories and stories are.

Her work has been exhibited at Revelations Gallery, the International Center of Photography, skArtspace, and Click! Photography Festival and featured in Curbed NY, Bronx Narratives Magazine, & the Six Feet Photography Project.
