CONTEXT
Camille Ora-Nicole (she/they) is a filmmaker, poet, and artist based in Los Angeles.
She turns art into reality by supporting (and creating!) film and design projects by those whose lived experiences and imaginations are often thrown to the wayside. Art is philosophy; what we see on the screen is reflected in real life, and vice versa. By encouraging folks to share their lives and imaginations, she helps build a more inclusive environment that stands up against those who try to ignore history or call diverse philosophies irrelevant.
Camille received her BFA in Graphic Design and a minor in Art History from Cal Poly Pomona. She also received a Master’s degree in Heritage Conservation from USC. They currently work at the City of Los Angeles as a Planning Assistant, and have also worked at the LA Conservancy, A+D Museum, and in affordable housing.
In 2018, Camille created Q26, a nonprofit supporting QTBIPOC creatives through workshops, events, and media projects.
