Mariamma Kambon

I explore contemporary culture within the context of recorded history, through the medium of photography.

My first solo show, Exposure, was held at the National Museum of Trinidad and Tobago, (2007), followed by Between the Lines, at Tobago Hilton, (2007). My work has been published in daily newspapers, magazines and advertising campaigns, and I have been a guest photographer and judge in a television series. In 2009, I was selected as an official photographer for the Fifth Summit of the Americas, which led to an image on the front page of the New York Times.

I was awarded a Sport and Culture Grant by the Ministry of Sport and Youth Affairs (2009) and moved from the Caribbean to New York to expand my practice. Since then, my work has been exhibited in the group shows, Of Bodies and Other Things, International Center of Photography, NY (2010), and Forever Forged. Forever Becoming, AACDD, London (2011). My work has also entered the permanent collection of the Studio Museum of Harlem, through the Harlem Postcard Series, NY (2011). My images have been published in Shift (2010) and ARC Magazine(2011).
