James Hosking

I am a Chicago-based photographer, filmmaker, and visual artist. My work has screened internationally and appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Mother Jones, and many other publications.

I developed a multimedia project examining identity, aging, and labor among veteran drag performers in San Francisco’s Tenderloin neighborhood. It included a documentary that I directed, produced, and edited entitled Beautiful By Night. I had a multi-year collaboration with the Tenderloin Museum in San Francisco that included screenings, public programming, and a solo photo exhibit of this work. The project was included in the 2020 group show Come to Your Census: Who Counts in America? at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco. It was the focus of a solo exhibition at the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities gallery during January and February of 2022.

I am currently a 2022-2023 HATCH resident at the Chicago Artists Coalition. HATCH is a juried program for emerging and mid-career artists that offers the opportunity to develop new work and produce collaborative exhibitions.
