Artist Talk: Zipporah Camille Thompson

The University of Pittsburgh’s Arts department is pleased to announce their Spring 2023 Visiting Artist Series with Atlanta–based artist activist Zipporah Camille Thompson. Please join us for a Zoom lecture with Thompson on Thursday, January 26, 2023, at 6:00 pm. 

A native Carolinian, Thompson explores alchemical transformations through clay + textiles, examining marginalized bodies and eliciting social change through her work.  Sculpted shapeshifters and hybrid landscapes investigate otherness. 

She received her MFA from the University of Georgia and her BFA from the University of North Carolina Charlotte.  Her work has been featured in numerous publications and shown in spaces, nationally and internationally.  Zipporah Camille Thompson is a 2021 MOCA GA Working Artist Project Fellow, a 2020 Artadia Atlanta Awardee, a Watershed Zenobia Scholarship Award grantee, an NCECA Multicultural Fellow, and an Idea Capital Travel Grant recipient.  Thompson is represented by Whitespace Gallery in Atlanta, GA.
