Kia Michelle Benbow, or Kia LaBeija as the art world knows her, isn't your typical artist. This storyteller and image-maker, born and raised in the heart of New York City, weaves her life experiences into captivating works that span photography, performance, and film. Her pieces have graced the walls of prestigious institutions like the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Tate Modern.

We recently had the chance to chat with Kia and delve into what ignites her creative fire, the unique process behind her art, and the powerful message she hopes to deliver through her projects.
