The Newport Photo Guild is proud to welcome Kannetha Brown, a second-generation Cambodian-American artist working in analog photography, narrative history, and textile traditions. Her practice centers on cultural preservation and historical reckoning, drawing from both personal memory and collective heritage.

During this talk, Kannetha will showcase new work and reflect on her use of analog processes as a deliberate, tactile approach to storytelling. She will share insights into four interconnected photography projects that trace Cambodian identity, diaspora, and intergenerational memory across Rhode Island, New York, and Massachusetts. Through family archives, portraiture, and landscape, Brown’s work explores the resilience of memory and the significance of image-making as a tool for cultural survival. 

Join us for an evening of analog photography, storytelling, and dialogue.
