Instructor: Meg Linton

A series of online conversations with creatives about the state of making. Join Meg Linton, independent curator and writer, as she virtually visits the studios of known and emerging artists, exploring their work, influence, philosophy, and creative process.

Siri Kaur is an artist and photographer who examines identities that occupy dualities, diversity, and contradiction, with a rigorous eye for the photographic quality of magic. She received her MFA from The California Institute of the Arts, and an MA and a BA from Smith College. Kaur’s work has been the subject of solo exhibitions at Blythe Projects, Cohen Gallery, and Kopeikin Gallery, Los Angeles; at 99¢ Plus, New York; at the Vermont Center for Photography, and at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. She was a Professor of Fine Arts at Otis College of Art and Design from 2007-2018 and currently teaches at UCLA. Kaur’s forthcoming book Sistermoon, published by Charcoal Press, will be available in early 2024.
