Kevin Bubriski

Kevin Bubriski has been visually documenting the country and people of Nepal since his first visit in 1975. As a young volunteer in the Peace Corps, Bubriski was originally sent to the country’s most remote and economically depressed region, Karnali Zone. The next three years, he walked the Karnali, planning and overseeing the construction of gravity flow drinking water pipelines. During this time, he began the journey of photographing the local villagers, this obsession would last for nearly four decades.

Kevin Bubriski has exhibited worldwide; his work is in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the International Center of Photography, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Yale University Art Gallery, the Center for Creative Photography, Tucson, Boston Museum of Fine Arts, the Carpenter Center for Visual Arts, International Polaroid Collection, The Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris, and many others. His book, Pilgrimage, remains one of the most powerful documents of our response to 9/11.
