Krista Dragomer creates drawings, works on paper with watercolors, inks, and natural dyes, handmade paper mixed media works, fiber sculpture, sound art, and multi-media interactive performances and participatory practices that invite sensorial encounters at the edges of the human. Her art practice is deeply interdisciplinary and collaborative, frequently co-creating with new media artists, musicians, writers, speakers and researchers in the biological sciences and cultural studies in and out of formalized disciplinary designations and institutions. In symbiosis with her artwork is her teaching practice, Drawing on the Senses, which uses experimental drawing, reflective and somatic practices to explore relational possibilities beyond categorical definitions of space and place, self and world. Krista is interested in the ways that sensory encounters with art can offer different approaches to public thought and has presented art and workshops in academic conferences, art and science museums, concert venues, public parks, storefronts, DIY artist-run spaces, podcasts, and galleries. She is the 2024 Artist-in-Residence for Dr. Bayo Akomolafe’s global postactivism project “We Will Dance With Mountains” and a collaborator with The Emergence Network. A short list of recent exhibitions and conferences include: the ICA Boston, Prix Ars Electronica where Krista received the 2021 Award of Distinction in Digital Musics & Sound for her work with Rashin Fahandej, Machines in Between: An Immersive Online Audio Program curated by Dr. John Modern, After Earth: Religion and Technology on a Changing Planet, put on by the International Society for the Study of Religion Nature and Culture. Krista has co-curated several of Dr. Eben Kirksey’s Multispecies Salon exhibitions and programs centering the intersection of art, research, and activism in local and global responses to the global climate crisis. A selection of her drawings is included in Dr. Beatrice Marovich’s “Sister Death: Political Theologies for Living and Dying” published by Columbia University Press, 2023. She recently collaborated on an anthology for For The Wild, expected 2025.
