The Department of Art & Art History welcomes back Arnold J. Kemp (b. 1968), a proud alum of our Art Practice MFA program (Class of ’05), as our 2024-2025 Virginia Keim Holt and Benjamin M. Holt Visiting Artist. Born in Boston, MA to Caribbean parents, Kemp is a multidisciplinary artist, writer, and educator whose work serves as a reminder of today’s socio-political landscape and its reverberations in the Black psyche. Kemp’s artistic practice transcends traditional boundaries, manifesting in talks, performances, limited-edition artist’s books, collaborations, and art objects. For him, art production is a powerful catalyst for new thinking about the necessity of creativity in our everyday lives.
