Note on the Project
KIOSK is a storefront (though projects may occur elsewhere), often interested in self-taught practices, material culture, and regional traditions. We host exhibitions, screenings, lectures, and workshops shaped through discursive and collaborative processes with artists, partners, and participants. Our efforts center on exchange and shared reflection.
