Kaela Mei-Chee Chambers is an interdisciplinary artist born and raised in New York City. Combining text, imagery, and installation, Chambers examines an absurdist desire to define and quantify healing; a frantic need for (and failing of) structure in times of personal crisis, and the language constructed around that need. Chambers’s public project Eastern Aphasia Caress, commissioned by High Line Art in partnership with NYPL’s Andrew Heiskell Braille and Talking Book Library, is on view through November 2025. Chambers is a 2024 recipient of the Rema Hort Mann Emerging Artist Award. Recent residencies and fellowships include MacDowell (2024) and Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture (2023). Chambers received her MFA in 2022 from Columbia University.
