Kamil Kak is an artist exploring the intersections of queer liberation, immigrant experiences, and the fragility of recent historical narratives. Their practice is rooted in activism, using exaggeration and bittersweet humor to initiate dialogue and stimulate social transformation. Kak works across performance, printmaking, ceramics, textiles, and glass.
Their work envisions a collective, utopian/dystopian future where communities either confront and reshape oppressive systems or fail miserably; it reflects on the present we shape and the possibilities we can imagine — especially within today’s ecological context.
