Claire Kalala (CMK) is a multidisciplinary fine artist living and working in the DMV. She is pursuing a masters degree in Art Therapy at the George Washington University in D.C. Kalala's work/art/collab/studies reflect an experience living ‘in-between’ moments of cultural, racial, and ethnic intersection. Her own blended heritage, community driven research, and artistic activism drive the personal narratives she portrays in performance and portraiture. These voices are the contributors to her own experiential ancestry.
