Kamra (b. 1992, Minneapolis) is an American artist and singer living in many places. Defying categorical genres, they explore every medium, from text-based works and video to ecological interventions. Their work has been featured on numerous occasions around the world, in such institutions as Dia Art Foundation, Brooklyn Museum, Studio Museum in Harlem, The People’s Forum, Printed Matter, ARIEL in Denmark, and TUO TUO in Finland. They have shared the stage with the likes of Beverly Glenn-Copeland, MOONRIIVR, St. John’s Wort, Flung, Yaz Lancaster, Kalbells, and meadows. Kamra’s work is grounded in erotic, post-activist, and animist thinking. Their music takes an electroacoustic approach using field recordings, live tracking, and MIDI sound design. They perform voice entirely raw and forward from soaring falsettos to a rich lower register. Their primary genre is folk along with touches of ambient, nu jazz, and soul/R&B.
