Kamee arrives in the world today as an interdisciplinary artist, filmmaker, writer, producer, performer, educator, creative strategist, community organizer, caregiver, queerdo, waitress, and witch. They were born to an Armenian family displaced from the SWANA region and grew up in an immigrant suburb of Toronto. Their work summons ancestral reclamation, diasporic futurism, and collective justice, and their creative practice is rooted in collaborative ethics and oriented towards generative, visionary world-building.

Kamee holds a BFA/BA in film and political science (Concordia University), an MA in expressive art therapy (European Graduate Institute), and an MA/PhD in Community, Liberation, Indigenous and Eco Psychologies (Pacifica Graduate Institute). Their doctoral research explored legacies of relational ontologies and ethics of care by diasporic-SWANA women and queers. Outside their creative projects, Kamee works as the arts programmer for a global feminist movement-support organization (AWID).

Kamee has created, produced, toured, and presented a vast body of work including narrative & documentary film, visual & media art, staged & immersive performances, exhibitions, magazines, anthologies, workshops, festivals, advocacy campaigns, and podcasts. Their projects have been supported by local and national funding bodies across Canada, USA and Armenia. They’re a Pushcart nominated writer, a Lambda-awarded playwright, and an alumni resident at VONA, Banff Center for Arts, and DocX (Duke University). The documentaries they’ve worked on with Oolik Productions have been supported by Sundance, Visions du Réel, HotDocs, and Catapult. Their short film Transmission (2019) – the first known Armenian science fiction film – premiered at BFI FLARE, and their documentary Symptom (2024) premiered at the SF Doc Fest and continues to circulate at festivals.

Kamee recently received the 2025 Creative Capital Award, published a children’s book (The Brighter I Shine) and organized a multi-day arts program for a gathering of 4000 global-south feminist activists in Bangkok (AWID Forum 2024). For the screen, they are currently developing a short film anthology (Portals), a limited series (Ensouled) and a feature film (We Are Our Mountains). They are also touring a mixed-media monument project for Western Armenians (Flesh, Immemorial) and writing a graphic novel based on their experiences as a new, queer, neuro-spicy mother.
