Mixed Media Artist and Educator

Ina Kaur is an active interdisciplinary practitioner and educator. Localism, globalism and hybridity have formed a new perspective for Kaur in conceptualizing and visualizing her work and identity.

In this global cultural environment where identities and boundaries converge, one seeks to identify oneself. Kaur explores a continuum of cross-cultural negotiation.
