West Belmont Branch hosts an Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month art exhibit during May 2018 featuring artist Kioto Aoki.
Kioto Aoki is a conceptual photographer and experimental filmmaker who also makes books and installations engaging the material specificity of the analogue image and image-making process. Her work explores modes of perception via nuances of the mundane, with recent investigations focusing on perceptions of movement between the still and the moving image. She received her Master of Fine Arts from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and is currently a 2017-2018 HATCH artist in resident at the Chicago Artists Coalition.
