Lola Kirke ’12.
Actress and Bard alumna Lola Kirke ’12 was profiled in the New York Times following her role in the 2025 film Sinners and the release of her book Wild West Village: Not a Memoir. Kirke discussed her childhood in New York City and her family relationships, as well as her work since moving to Nashville in 2020 including her country album Trailblazer. Kirke says all of her work is about embracing the imperfect. “‘Should I conform? Or is what makes me special the ways in which I don’t conform? I am much more interested in the latter,” she says.

Kirke studied in the Film and Electronic Arts Program at Bard, which encourages interest in a wide range of expressive modes in film and electronic arts including animation, narrative and non-narrative filmmaking, documentary, performance, and installation practices. The program emphasizes imaginative engagement and the cultivation of an individual voice that has command over the entire creative process.
