In 2017, she founded Third Room Project in Portland, OR, centered on the idea of creating a third place: a space between work and home where regulars gather, new connections and economies are formed, and the oppressed may plot their liberation. She continues to explore the space in-between culture, people, and ideology as a site of potential where we already operate.     <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From an artist-centered approach, Kalaija has devoted her career to supporting new artistic vision\u2013 spending the last ten years curating, co-producing, writing, documenting, and platforming innovative +\u00a0experimental\u00a0art forms from emerging &#8211; midcareer artists. She is dedicated to doing the most with the least, to healthy framing and good design, and asks, often, \u201cWhat do we need more than space and each other?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sinceritypractice.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Website<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":15129,"template":"","country":[],"class_list":["post-15128","participant","type-participant","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Kalaija Mallery - CEC ArtsLink<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cecartslink.org\/participant\/kalaija-mallery\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Kalaija Mallery - CEC ArtsLink\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Kalaija Mallery is an artist, curator, and the Executive and Artistic Director of The Luminary, a mid-sized non-profit art center in St. Louis.
