Tamara Kalo is an interdisciplinary artist whose work navigates the intersections of home, displacement, and collective memory. Formally trained in architecture at the University of California, Berkeley (2016), she integrates light- and time-based media, including video, sculpture, performance, and alternative photography, to explore the fragile space between a moment, its place, and its recollection.
Rooted in research and embodied knowledge, Kalo’s practice engages site-specificity, fragmentation, glitching, and typology as tools to witness and reinterpret personal and regional landscapes. Moving fluidly between Riyadh and Beirut, she constructs poetic narratives that interrogate the shifting nature of belonging, capturing the traces of memory that linger between the ephemeral and the permanent.
Her work has been exhibited in I Wish To Be Happy, I Want To Be Yellow at Gallery Isabelle van den Eynde, Dubai (2024), How to Time Travel
at MMAG Foundation (2024), and the 2025 Islamic Arts Biennale in Jeddah. She has also conducted workshops such as Allying with Olive Leaves and the Sun, exploring alternative photographic techniques.
