Cali M. Banks

Cali M. Banks (Munsee Lenape/Scottish) is a lens-based artist, holding an MFA in Interdisciplinary Media Arts Practices from CU Boulder. Cali is the Communications Coordinator for Light Work, and is an Adjunct Professor at Syracuse University. Cali is also a 2024 En Foco Photography Fellow.

Her practice reclaims identity through auto-ethnographic, experimental photography and filmmaking. Her work explores personal and collective histories, relational intimacies, and the expansion of flattened definitions of indigenous art. She is interested in the idea of image-making as a time or record-keeper, and being able to manipulate that to recreate memories, history, and methods of healing.
