Kimberley D’Adamo
Kimberley D'Adamo is a multi-disciplinary artist whose work explores experiences of students and teachers in America’s public schools. Her practice, which bridges art, research, curriculum and pedagogy, offers contemporary art as a mischevious toolbox for transforming teaching and learning. Her newest body of work, On Campus Interventions: Dr. D's Practical Tools for Quick & Easy School Re-Form, spans sculpture, painting, installation, emerging media and performance.
D'Adamo earned her doctorate from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, with an arts-based research dissertation titled Currere as Contemporary Art: Creative Research Tools for Teacher Self-Reflection, which was nominated for the Elliot Eisner Doctoral Research Award in 2024. She is currently completing her MFA in sculpture, also from UNL. When not in the studio, D’Adamo teaches interdisciplinary art methods to pre-service teachers in the College of Education and Human Sciences at UNL. She also serves as Co-Principal Investigator of the Teaching with Emerging Media Arts Program, a $1.9 million Department of Education-funded research initiative focused on integrating arts-based inquiry and emerging technologies into teacher professional learning.
