Shervone Neckles

Shervone Neckles is a Grenadian-American interdisciplinary artist based in Queens, New York. Working across textiles, prints, installations, sculptures, and public art, she creates immersive experiences that reinterpret Afro-Caribbean diasporic histories, mythologies, and personal narratives. By weaving researched stories into artworks that function as both archives and rituals, she evokes ancestral wisdom from objects.

Her multimedia installation exploring selfhood and memory was featured in the 2019 Venice Biennale’s Grenada Pavilion. She has since realized a number of major public and institutional projects, including BEACON (2021), a public art sculpture for the Lewis Latimer House Museum in Flushing, Queens; a solo exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art Jacksonville (2022-2023); and The Lunar Portal (2023), a permanent public art installation at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Mercy Pavilion Plaza. In fall 2024, she unveiled the subway installation The Land Between Open Water at the Westchester Square station in the Bronx, commissioned by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. In 2025, she presented Steeping Memory: A Collective Offering, a multisensory solo exhibition at CUNY York College Fine Arts Gallery, and received the Municipal Art Society of New York's Brendan Gill Prize, recognizing her contributions to New York City's cultural life. In 2026, she was awarded the Threewalls Research and Development Lab Grant in recognition of her research and practice.
