Join us for an evening exploring the intersections of ecology, borders, and belonging through the works of Mary White and Michele Brody, two artists whose practices illuminate our shared connections across boundaries of place and identity.
About Michele Brody
Michele Brody is a New York–based mixed-media and environmental artist whose 30-year practice explores ecological systems, material histories, and place-based storytelling. She holds a BA from Sarah Lawrence College and an MFA in Fibers and Material Studies from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
Brody’s work has been supported by major grants and residencies including NYFA, NYSCA, the Pollock-Krasner Foundation, the Bronx Council on the Arts, Skowhegan, Headlands Center for the Arts, and Wave Hill. Her installations have been exhibited internationally and across the U.S., with solo shows at the Bronx Museum, LES Tenement Museum, Hudson Guild, and numerous artist-run spaces. She has also completed permanent public art commissions for the MTA and NYC Public Art for Public Schools.
About Mary White
Mary White is a Bay Area sculptor, mixed-media artist, and educator whose work centers on environmental and social justice, community art, and place-making. Her practice bridges art, natural sciences, and ecological perception, often through interdisciplinary and collaborative projects.
Trained in ceramics, glass, and painting, White holds a BFA and MFA from California College of the Arts. She taught for nearly two decades at San Jose State University, led international glass programs, and has worked extensively with communities, scientists, youth, and cultural organizations on public art, environmental installations, and cross-disciplinary projects.
Her work has ranged from leading flood-awareness art collaborations in Colorado to creating glass sculpture commissions, partnering with tribal youth in Louisiana, and serving as a Fulbright Scholar in Dublin. White is currently co-director of WEAD: Women Eco Art Dialog, supporting women’s voices in eco-art through exhibitions, education, and advocacy.
