On Thursday, July 18, we welcome Camille Farrah Lenain to “Meet the Artist” night at CPW. Farrah Lenain will be presenting two bodies of work: Sisters of the Hunt, a multidisciplinary project about women hunting in France and Louisiana, and Made Of Smokeless Fire, a current body of work in homage to their uncle, and about the queer Muslim community in France. Farrah Lenain is currently a 2024 Woodstock AIR, and is working on a book for their Made of Smokeless Fire project during the residency. They will be selling copies of their Sisters of the Hunt exhibition book during the event.
Join us every Thursday evening at CPW, when we host illuminating talks with local and visiting artists. “Meet the Artist” allows the public to get to know new work, to hear about artistic processes, and to meet friends and other local artists. The evening takes place at CPW’s gallery at 474 Broadway in Kingston, NY. It is free and open to the public. Coffee, tea, and snacks are served. “Meet the Artist” is made possible by a generous grant from the Arnold and Augusta Newman Foundation.
Camille Farrah Lenain is a French-Algerian documentary photographer who grew up in Paris. She relocated to New Orleans in 2013, where she teaches at Tulane University, and continues long-term projects that challenge societal preconception, exploring the notions of stereotypes, collective memory, and plural identities. Her photographs have been exhibited internationally, including at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, the Arab World Institute, Photoville and Les Rencontres d’Arles.
