Hayes Prize 2025: Tommy Kha
This exhibition presents a work by Tommy Kha, the second recipient of the Addison鈥檚 Bartlett H. Hayes, Jr. Prize. Kha examines how we construct belonging and otherness through photography, inventing new models for self-portraiture with a critical eye toward the medium鈥檚 long history of absences and erasure.
The second iteration of the Addison鈥檚 biannual Bartlett H. Hayes Jr. Prize exhibition presents work by photographer Tommy Kha (b. 1988). With a humorous and poignant touch, Kha examines how we construct belonging and otherness through photography, inventing new models for self-portraiture with a critical eye toward the medium鈥檚 long history of absences and erasure. Growing up Chinese-American in Memphis, Kha had often been made to feel he was different. Now as an adult, the artist locates a place for himself, both within the American South and the tradition of photography.
