Dominique Hunter
Dominique Hunter (b. 1987, Guyana) is a multi-disciplinary visual artist whose works often critiques the (mis/non)-representation of Black female bodies in art historical text and imageries as well as the stereotypical portrayals of those bodies in contemporary print media. Her recent body of work has expanded to include personal strategies for coping with the weight of those impositions by examining the value of self-care practices to improved mental health and quality of life. Hunter completed her BFA (Hons) from the Barbados Community College in 2015 and was the recipient of the Leslie's Legacy Foundation Award for Most Outstanding Work at Portfolio. She has exhibited work in Los Angeles, Chicago and New York, and has participated in residencies including Caribbean Linked IV (Aruba) and the Vermont Studio Center (USA), after being awarded the Reed Foundation Fellowship.
