MPS Digital Photography presents a talk with photographer Shravya Kag (MPS 2016 Digital Photography). Kag (she/they) is a photographer and director with a focus on queer and South Asian stories around themes of identity, community, and solidarity. Her practice is observational and archival stemming from the belief that queer existence in itself is legacy. Moving away from the standard narratives of queer trauma and resilience, Kag’s work focuses on joy and daily life. Her process is collaborative, often involving the participant in every step of documentation. She immerses herself in communities, hanging out with the participants, often without a camera, and invites conversation and interpretation. Kag’s work has been exhibited at various locations such as Somerset House, London, Photoville, and Art Space NYC.


Starting in 2011 and after over 250 lectures, the i3: Images, Ideas, Inspiration Lecture series continues to feature leading photographers, artists, editors, gallerists, and industry experts. The Summer 2025 i3 Lecture season is curated and hosted by MPS Digital Photography faculty member Julie Grahame. Most past lectures are available on YouTube and Vimeo.
