Roxanne Simone

Roxanne Simone is a Black Caribbean British metal-based visual artist who applies a multidisciplinary approach to her work. Simone’s research into the complex dynamics of an intersectional diasporic body combines ethnographic fieldwork and an auto-ethnographic methodology. Simone challenges contemporary perceptions of race, queerness, gender, class, and the effects of repressive systems on healing through a non-linear exploration of time and futuristic possibilities. Within contemporary art, Simone’s metalwork artistic practice dives into reimagining physical and symbolic barriers, exploring objects, sculptures, image making, colour, and materiality.
