The Light Factory Photo Arts Center

At The Light Factory, we love celebrating photographers in our community.

We’re excited to launch our Photographer Spotlight, a weekly feature highlighting the artists who make our community so special.

K Quispe is a multidisciplinary artist, photographer, and community organizer based in Charlotte, North Carolina. Working primarily with analog photography and mixed media, their practice explores home, kinship, grief, belonging, and collective memory through collaborative image-making and storytelling. Informed by their Indigenous Peruvian heritage, transgender identity, and experiences as an adoptee, K creates work that examines how personal and collective histories shape identity, place, and connection.

To submit, send us:
    •    1–2 headshots
    •    3–5 images of your work
    •    A short bio (3 sentences max)
    •    A short artist statement (3 sentences max)

Submit today! Link in bio.
