ForTamary Kudita, photography is a vehicle for honoring peoples histories and cultural expressions.
From a conceptual perspective, she was drawn to photography by the idea of being an author.
These elements ultimately shaped my artistic career.

Her series,African Victorian,grew from a desire to recognize the lived truth of others.

By putting her heritage at the forefront, she has developed a unique visual language.
