Kameron Neal is an artist and designer working across video, installation, and performance. As a Public Artist in Residence with New York City’s Department of Records, he created Down the Barrel (of a Lens), an archival film installation interrogating NYPD surveillance. The project received first prize in the National Portrait Gallery’s Outwin Boochever Portrait Competition and was described by The Washington Post as “a bombshell piece.”
As a projection designer, he has worked on numerous productions, including Ryan J. Haddad’s Dark Disabled Stories at The Public Theater, for which he received Lucille Lortel and Henry Hewes Design Awards. His projects have earned a Creative Capital Award, The Vineyard Theatre’s Colman Domingo Award, a Princess Grace Award, and an Opera America Award for his collaboration with Paul Pinto. With Shayok Misha Chowdhury, Kameron collaborated on Rheology and MukhAgni, multimedia performance memoirs about death, presented at Playwrights Horizons, The Bushwick Starr, and Under the Radar Festival.
Artist residencies include MacDowell, Yaddo, Lincoln Center’s Social Sculpture Project, CultureHub, Bemis, ALL ARTS, MAXmachina, NYU ITP’s Project Fellowship, Ars Nova's Makers Lab, and The Public Theater’s Devised Theater Working Group. Kameron was a 2024–2025 Movement Lab Fellow at the Rhode Island School of Design in the Film/Animation/Video Department and is currently an Interdisciplinary Fellow between the Royal Shakespeare Company and the Brooklyn Academy of Music.
