On loan from the artist

Canadian artist Kali Spitzer is of Kaska Dena and Jewish Transylvanian ancestry. She creates tintype portraits of primarily Black, Indigenous, People of Color, and queer friends and family, imbuing her subjects with a sense of dignity and autonomy often lacking in mainstream representations. Her goal is to create a space of safety, where people can tell their stories and “be seen, in a good way.” Holland Andrews, depicted here, is a nonbinary musician and friend of Spitzer’s.
