K Quispe
K received their Bachelor's degree at UNC Asheville with a major in Women, Gender, and Sexuality studies. They previously attended the Maryland Institute College of Art with a major in Photography. K soon discovered their true calling in community building and technology and received a nonprofit management certificate from Duke University and attended a coding bootcamp in Charlotte, NC. They are now a Charlotte-based organizer working primarily as a Software Engineer and photographer for local community initiatives.
Raised in North Carolina, K was brought to America by two loving moms when they were 6 months old from Lima, Peru. K has a large amount of pride for their family and has been organizing in their local communities since 2009. Their current artistic work is based in fiber arts and photography with an emphasis on cultural and community connection.
Drawing from their indigenous Quechua heritage, K has chosen to use their birth parent's surname for their work, Quispe, meaning "free".
