On November 2, Narkita will return for a public talk about her artistic process and the making of the new work featured in her current exhibition, i found myself in the mountains. The talk will take place at our sister gallery, the Emmanuel, at 4:30 pm, followed by a walkthrough of the exhibition with the artist at the CU Denver Experience Gallery.

Narkita is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans photography, textiles, text, and printmaking. Her community engagement projects, site-specific installations, and works on paper draw from the archive, oral traditions, contemporary Black narratives, and Black feminist theory.

Her projects explore identity, healing, memory, and loss. She is interested in the nature of the human condition, entangling the political with the spiritual, and bending time in search of catharsis. She also spotlights the capacity of her materials, symbolism, color, and craft to create meaning.

Her exhibition record includes Hausen Gallery (2023), Pratt Institute (2022), Museum of Contemporary Art Denver (2021), BMoCA (2021), Colorado Photographic Arts Center (2021), among others. 

Narkita is a NYU HEAR US 2022 Fellow. She earned her BS in Public Relations, in 2010, and a MA in Art & Public Policy at New York University Tisch School of the Arts, in 2022. She is based in Brooklyn, NY.
