Shawanda Corbett
Shawanda Corbett (born 1989, New York).[1] is an American, Oxford based interdisciplinary Artist. Corbett produces work in a variety of media including ceramics, performance, and painting. Corbett's work addresses the question of what is a complete body via Donna Haraway's Cyborg Theory and her own lived experiences as a Black woman, but also issues of sexuality and gender. Each of her hand-thrown vessels are inspired by real people and are often incorporated into politically charged performances, in which Corbett's own body leaves traces on the pottery vessels and surfaces.
