I'm Stephanie Graham (she/her), a lens-based artist and podcast host in Chicago. My work explores themes of social class, subcultures, race, and gender, often with a humorous undercurrent. I'm fascinated by how we connect and how our universal and unique shared experiences shape who we are. I host noseyAF: conversations about art, activism, and social change (you can check it out here), a podcast where I share my artistic practice and have candid conversations with artists, activists, neighborhood visionaries, and everyday people creatively shaping a better world. This curiosity about human experiences also drives projects like So This One Guy, where women share their dating stories, offering diverse perspectives on connection and identity.
My work has been exhibited nationally and is held in private and public collections, including the Chicago Historical Society. As a filmmaker, I've worked on productions such as Somebody Somewhere and Chicago PD. Through all my projects, I aim to create work that sparks conversation, builds community, and challenges us to see ourselves inside of each other while reimagining the world in a way that creates empathy, kindness, and joy.
