Mei Kazama (they/them) is a multimedia artist and arts educator. Their art practice investigates objecthood, belonging, and alternative modes of relationality.  They seek and imagine spaces where past, present, and future meet to create other structures of protection and care that center the liminal.  They have exhibited their work in various indoor and outdoor spaces and galleries in both the US and Japan.  Most recently, they completed a studio residency at BRIC and Education Fellowship at the Brooklyn Museum. They have worked as an arts educator at various nonprofit organizations, public schools, and cultural institutions in New York City, and their teaching centralizes and empowers those most vulnerable by bringing together art and critical thinking to develop long term self efficacy.  Mei received their B.A. in Studio Art from Williams College.
