COMING UP!
Our Artist in Residence Program begins April 1, 2024
Parallax Art Center's 2024 Artists in Residence are an alliance of visionary Black women artists, healers, and change-makers, dedicated to creating spaces of healing and expression through the powerful lens of Nature.
Jocelyn Rice, Black Quantum Outdoor Futurist
As a designer and an artist, Jocelyn blends the essence of nature with the visionary principles of Black Quantum Futurism in her work. Her art is a dialogue with the environment, channeling the spirit of the outdoors into each design and performance piece, advancing regenerative practices steeped in ancestral knowledge. With Black Earth United, she designs narratives that wear the legacy of the past and the innovation of the future— @jocelynr.rice
ZaDora Williams, MSW, LCSW, Healing Artist
As a Portland-based licensed clinical social worker and healing artist with roots in Chicago, ZaDora’s work interweaves energy work and cultural traditions to support the mental health and collective wellness of the African-American community. Crafting intentional spaces for healing, she facilitates experiences that address and release deep-seated traumas through bodywork and ancestral practices. Her art focus on empowering individuals to find strength and healing in nature, guiding them toward holistic well-being. @sunflowerz_heals
Dr. Lisa Collins
Storyteller and Environmental Narrative Weaver
Dr. Lisa Collins, Ed. D., author, playwright, and filmmaker stands at the forefront of environmental exploration and racial healing.
