Cameron Barker (he/they) is a Brooklyn based multi-disciplinary artist and educator whose work centers around visibility of queer intimacy. Born in Longmont, Colorado, Barker received a BA in art education from The University of Northern Colorado and a MFA from The School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts. As a queer Jew, Barker has been interested in destabilizing cultural systems that force communities to engage in closeting to avoid persecution. His work implements traditional rendering practices and materials from the Western canon, such as the Bargue Drawing Method and metal-point, to represent queer bodies which have been historically absent from these practices. Barker is an awardee of a Post-Grad fellowship in curation at Tufts University, a Mass Cultural Council's Artist Fellow, and a Room 68 Artist residency. He is currently a part-time lecturer at Yale University, a Liquitex Teaching Artist and editor of the Boston Printmakers Quarterly.
