Whit Harris (b. 1985, Brooklyn, NY) is a multidisciplinary artist working across drawing, painting, and ceramic sculpture. Her work centers fluid, fragmented anatomies—figures that stretch, recline, wriggle, and contort through uncanny landscapes where the boundaries between body, memory, and environment dissolve. These figured reflect strategies of psychological survival in the face of anti-Black social conditions while imagining expansive possibilities for Black femme identity, intimacy, and freedom.
Harris was awarded a 2024 NYSCA/NYFA Fellowship in Painting. Recent exhibitions include a solo exhibition at DIMIN, New York (2025) and NADA Miami 2024. Her work has been featured in BAT City Review and exhibited in New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Seattle, and Munich. She holds an MFA from Hunter College and a BA from Stony Brook University. Harris teaches at Brooklyn College and lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.
