Whit Harris (b. 1985, Brooklyn, NY) is a multi-disciplinary artist working across drawing, painting, and ceramic sculpture. Her work depicts fluid, disjointed anatomies—figures that stretch, recline, wriggle, and contort in exaggerated expressions as they navigate spectral, otherworldly environments. These shifting bodies reflect her psychological adaptation to unpredictable and hostile environments shaped by anti-Black social structures, while also embodying the resilience and imagination of Black femme experience.
Harris was awarded a 2024 NYSCA/NYFA Fellowship in Painting. Recent highlights include participation in NADA Miami 2024, features in The Boston Review and BAT City Review, and an upcoming solo exhibition at DIMIN, New York, in September 2025. She has exhibited in New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Seattle, and Munich. Harris holds an MFA from Hunter College and a BA from Stony Brook University. She teaches at Brooklyn College and Borough of Manhattan Community College, and lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.
