Shelley K. White is an artist, activist, sociologist, and public health professor who focuses on social and environmental injustices connected to economic globalization, structural racism, climate crisis, and US-led militarism. She uses painting, drawing, mixed media collage, and sculpture with found objects and waste materials, as well as poetry, song, and creative writing. With a doctoral degree in sociology, an M.P.H. in global health, and an M.F.A. in interdisciplinary and visual arts, her arts practice serves as a space of convergence where she grapples with identity, complicity, and the complexities of existing within—and resisting—a world that renders people and our planet disposable. Recent projects include: Landscapes & Lives Partitioned: Witnessing the Borderlands, based on long-term teaching, research, and community collaboration in the US-Mexico borderlands; and Auspicious Pernicious Beginnings, exploring settler colonial histories of New England through the story of her maternal ancestors. While her art offers space for processing loss at both personal and collective levels, it also offers counternarratives of hope, imagining possibilities for humanization and systems change.
