Chanelle Brown (b. 1993) is a British-Caribbean mixed-media artist, in 2020 she graduated with a BA in fine art at Glasgow School of Art. Brown draws specific interest in nature and bodies of water; she considers the ‘middle passage’ as a space of remembrance, connection, speculative thought and storytelling. Considering the way migration influences culture, Brown explores how the African-Caribbean diaspora has revolutionised society. Brown is motivated by hidden histories and oral traditions. Currently, she works on creating sculptures inspired by nature, history and her cultural identity.
