Michele Carlson uses creative strategies to interrogate systems of power and legacies of racialization. She is an artist, writer, educator, and facilitator-of-all-the-things (from conversations to publications to the occasional curatorial project). Her work is as much about how we have created and endured systems of power as it is how creative imagining and action can refuse or reform them.
She is a founding member of Related Tactics, an artistic collective working at the intersection of race and culture. Related Tactics prioritizes thoughtful and care-full consensus required to meaningfully engage the relational work of social change and movement building.
Based in the D.C.-area, she is an Associate Professor of Printmaking at George Washington University.
