Join Indigo Arts Alliance on Saturday, May 24th at 5pm for an open studio event with Eleanor Kipping. Originally from Maine, Eleanor is a Black Queer Brooklyn-based Artist, Educator and Arts Administrator. Her multidisciplinary practice lies at the intersection of performance, installation and lens-based media and image making and explores the notion of “Virus as Other” at the intersection of race, gender, class and place.

Through the examination and deconstruction of historical and contemporary narratives, she is interested in the public, private, and civic negotiations of race, gender, in addition to the effect and practice of violence and surveillance upon the body.

She has been awarded residencies at the Lunder Institute for American Art, Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, School of Visual Arts, Lower Manhattan Cultural Council and Center for Performance Research Artist in Residence. Her work has been exhibited at The Shed, Portland Museum of Art, Center for Maine Contemporary Art, Yellow Fish Durational Performance Festival, and more. She teaches at The New School Parsons School of Design, and Pratt Institute and is the Marketing Manager at Hi-ARTS, and the Co-Founder of Camp El, a Maine-based artist retreat.”
