Create Hear-Lua Kobayashi

2023 Aurora Project Resident Lua Kobayashi will spent two weeks exploring the stories and experiences of Japanese-Americans in Indiana through photographs of their belongings and audio interviews. Kobayashi has worked with the concept of portraiture through personal objects in her previous series, Where a Forest Once Grew. The Aurora Project Residency offers a two-week intensive work period for experimentation, research, and development of new or ongoing projects, with priority for the residency given to projects that engage and incorporate the place and people of Indianapolis.
