Kalie Granier
artist.
Kalie Granier is a French interdisciplinary artist based in Santa Cruz, California, on the unceded territory of the Awaswas-speaking Uypi Tribe. Her practice explores the relationships between human and more-than-human worlds, weaving together ecology, memory, and speculative futures through video, installation, raw pigments, and locally sourced coastal materials. Working at the intersection of art, science, and activism, she collaborates with scientists, environmentalists, and Indigenous communities to investigate interconnected ecosystems, collective care, and regenerative imaginaries. Kalie is the co-founder of Loud Spring, a European-American art collective and 501(c)(3) organization in the San Francisco Bay Area. She has an MA from ESAG Penninghen School of Visual Art in Paris. Her work has been exhibited internationally across the United States, Europe, and Argentina, and she lectures regularly at institutions including UC Santa Cruz, Santa Clara University, and Stanford University.
