Kardamin Politzer
Kardamin Politzer (He/Him) (b. 1999) is a photographer and visual advocate based in Lake County. Drawing from his personal experience as a disabled, queer, and nonbinary Filipino American, his work is an intimate exploration of identity. Kardamin merges art and advocacy, creating a space that gives representation and dignity to those on the margins. Through photographs focused on themes of love, connection, and self discovery, he seeks to give respect and visibility to those whose stories have been overlooked or erased, particularly within the queer and disabled communities. Kardamin's work has been featured in the Robert T. Wright Gallery of Art and the Adler Arts Center.
