Golga Oscar

Golga Oscar is a photographer and designer from Kasigluk. He graduated from Akiuk Memorial School in 2016, and is now attending the Institute for American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He is less than a year away from earning his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. When the pandemic hit this spring, Oscar had to make the difficult decision to return home from Santa Fe and finish his semester online. But that hasn’t slowed down his prolific art making, which he talks about on Coffee@KYUK.
