Kristine Thompson’s work explores both emotional and social responses to loss and mourning, including how we grieve and the memorial properties we attach to significant objects and spaces. Her work has increasingly considered the materiality of photographs, how images circulate publicly, and what power such images have to elicit empathy on the part of the viewer. Thompson serves as an Associate Professor of Art (Photography) at Louisiana State University, here in Baton Rouge. Dating back to 1999, her work has been featured throughout the United States, including exhibitions in Chicago, Los Angeles, New Orleans, and Denver, among many others. Additionally, she has been involved in more than a half dozen curatorial projects, had writings published by Phaidon Press and UCR/California Museum of Photography, and received numerous honors.

ReVision: Women in Photography (on view June 11– August 30, 2026) features works from the permanent collections of the LSU Museum of Art and the Paul R. Jones Museum in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, displaying the continuing impact of women artists who have shaped—and continue to shape—the visual language of photography. Featured photographers include: Amalia Amaki, Sheila Pree Bright, Lynn Hershman Leeson, Suda House, Celestia Morgan, Martina Mullaney, Dianora Niccolini, Anne Noggle, Kenda North, Akasha Rabut, Ming Murray Smith, Clarissa Thompson Sligh, Sheila Turner, Kristine Thompson, Melanie Walker, and Carrie Mae Weems.
