Nafis White works in sculpture, photography, video, collage, sound and performance exploring issues of identity, equality, politics and landscape, using personal narratives to facilitate and build conversations with the viewer. Her approach is one that is heavily influenced by conceptualism, aesthetics and climate, both political and social, with much of her work inspired by the current Civil Rights Movement in the United States. Nafis employs many different strategies in the way that she visualizes and creates work, utilizing a multidisciplinary approach to her art making. White received her BFA in Sculpture with a Concentration in Art History from the Rhode Island School of Design before embarking on a year-long program at the University of London, Goldsmiths in the UK. Nafis returned to RISD in 2016 to study Digital Media and Printmaking and graduated with her MFA in 2018. You can see more of Nafis White's artwork at nafiswhite.com.
