Biography

Cheyenne Echo (b. 1992) graduated with a dual BA in History and European Studies in 2013 and a BA in Art in 2019 from the University of California Irvine. She is currently enrolled as an MFA in Photography and Media Studies at California Institute of the Arts.

She has received grants to research and photograph in several countries including France, Israel, Palestine, and Jordan. Her work focuses on a variety of politicized materializations - including landscape, objecthood, and the self. Her work often addresses ironies through play, allowing the manufactured nature of our reality to show through while revealing truth through introspection, creating a tension between what we think of ourselves as and who we are perceived to be.
