Tamara Kalo

Press release

Opening Thursday 19 November, 6–8pm Tamara Kalo (b. 1994, Saida, Lebanon) is an artist working across alternative photographic processes, sculpture, performance, film and textile. Her practice engages with image-making as alchemical gestures of ritual, remembrance and speculation, tracing body, land and memory through the politics of displacement and visibility. Through duration, process and materiality, her work reimagines embodied modes of image capture and optical instruments. Navigating between the intimate and collective, she holds the body as a relational measure of place: a site-specific witness to the re-mapping of boundaries, memory and belonging. Selected exhibitions include Arab Design Now, Design Doha Biennial, Doha (2026); The Artist's Eye, The Douglas Hyde Gallery, Dublin (2026); I Am Not What I Am, I Become, Athr Gallery, Jeddah (2026); And All That Is In Between, Islamic Arts Biennale, Jeddah (2025); Slow Burn, Beirut Art Centre, Beirut (2025); What Lies In Between, PHotoESPAÑA, Casa Árabe, Madrid (2025); and How To Time Travel, MMAG Foundation, Amman (2024).
