About
Seema Kapur is a filmmaker and performance artist based in Los Angeles. Identity, Ethnicity, Fantasy, and the Land are recurrent themes running through Seema's body of work, having been shaped by her childhood upbringing in rural Wisconsin. She received her MFA in Film/Video from the California Institute of the Arts. Her work has been presented at California State University Los Angeles, Mystery Theater at Machine Project, REDCAT, Highways Performance Space, and the National Museum of Women in the Arts. Apart from being an interdisciplinary artist, she is the founder and executive director of Sat Naam, a nonprofit organization established to provide healing and creative arts to communities in South and Central Los Angeles.
Over the past two years Seema has been involved in projects that deal with different ways one connects to very specific locations around the world. These relationships are often forged out of both personal history and more subjective ideas and expectations around the mythology of a given place.
