Talia Kimberly Wright


Master of Fine Arts in Writing

Talia Kimberly Wright is a multidisciplinary artist and writer born and raised on the Southside of Chicago. Utilizing memory, word (oral and written tradition), and material object, her work aims to bridge the gap between the ancestral, traditional, and regenerated lives of Black people in America––especially those who have been impacted by the Great Migration. She employs different methodologies like book-making, ceramics, collaging, and painting in an effort to investigate how physicality aids us in tactile processing, specifically through the lens of Afro-surrealism.
