My name is Adrienne Bennett. I am a Black femme visual artist, designer, and arts worker living in Richmond, VA. While Richmond has been my primary home for the past few years, I also spend a lot of time in NYC.
As a first-generation New Jersey-raised Afro-Caribbean, I am passionate about supporting contemporary artists of color and artisans. My practice employs cyanotype printmaking, collage, drawing, glass bead making (also known as flameworking), and ultralight websites.
I am also a researcher with extensive knowledge of archival and contemporary visual art, materials, pop culture, textiles, fashion, the modern digital landscape, and technology. Currently, I am researching Ghanaian textiles featuring Adinkra symbols and their transitory use in architecture and textiles in the U.S. and the Caribbean.
