Chris Cambell

Chris Cambell is a multidisciplinary artist and one of our 2024 Explore Fund recipients. Chris plans to use the fund to bring together his photography and poetry work to explore a new form of visual poetry.

“I want to explore how poetry and photography can work together to tell the stories of queer people in and around Bradford. How do the two forms construct a three-dimensional portrait of a person? What do the differences in the portrayals these mediums offer tell us about how we as queer people view ourselves and how we are viewed by society? There are lots of people who see us but never really see *us* – I’d love to explore how we can change that and, hopefully, learn more about ourselves through the process!”

Chris was also part of our Empowered cohort of artists in 2023
