Photographer Tommy Kha at KCAI

Kansas City Art Institute Visiting Artist Tommy Kha will share his work about the self in the self-portrait, the portrait in self-portrait, and the hyphen in self-portrait.

Kha is a recipient of the En Foco Photography Fellowship, the Jessie and Dolph Smith Emeritus Award, and a Magenta Foundation Flash Forward emerging photographer, as well as a former artist-in-residence at Center for Photography at Woodstock, Light Work, Fountainhead, and Baxter Street at the Camera Club of New York. In December 2015, Kha published his first monograph, A Real Imitation, through Aint-Bad.

He occasionally performs, writes, and appears in some films, including Laurie Simmons’ feature, My Art. Kha holds an MFA in Photography from Yale University.
