Samantha
Hill
Chicago, Illinois
Installation artist, educator and project developer with experience in developing temporary exhibits & public programming inspired by archives, which are compelling experiences for museums and cultural centers. I'm interested in telling an American story within my installations, therefore I collaborate with curators, educators, librarians, historians and community organizations to develop projects that reflect a city's history as well as it's contemporary interests.


I am the creator of the Kinship Project, which is a collection of over 4000 African American family photographs with artifacts ranging from 1839 to 2012.
