Nafis White

Interdisciplinary, multihyphenate artist Nafis White, kicks off her virtual artist residency with a discussion of her work in performance, collaborative community-assisted interventions, as well as her sculptural works created from objects commonly found in Black beauty supply stores. White has recently activated the city of Providence through her mural work, uniting a printmaking collective to respond to police brutality, voter suppression, Covid-19 and other local and global crises. During her residency White will engage Wheaton students in timely conversation as well as the production of an artwork on campus.
