American Photographic Artists National
MEI SEVA (b. 1996, Elbasan, Albania) is a visual artist based in New York City, working primarily with photography, film and painting. Her work often addresses political, social, and cultural realities on issues such as migration and inequality, as well as our disconnection to the natural world and environmental degradation. Her images consist of vibrant colors and slow, tranquil imagery to create atmospheric and dreamlike images, often in dichotomy with the subject matter at hand. Drawing inspiration from the social practice field and the feminist art movement, she seeks to join the dialogue of how art can be a force of change and challenge dominant narratives around how we see the world and each other. Seva graduated from Hampshire College with a B.A. in Peace and Conflict Studies and Art. Her work has been exhibited at First Street Gallery (NYC), Gallery 114 (Portland, Oregon), the Sawmill River Arts Gallery (Massachusetts), Boomer Gallery (London), Janice Charach Gallery (Michigan), and published in Flora Fiction, Hand Magazine, The Raw Society Stories, and the Hampshire Daily Gazette. In 2022, Seva was an Amherst Arts Council grantee and created an outdoor public art installation sharing refugee stories through photography.
