Shervone Neckles

Shervone Neckles is a Grenadian-American interdisciplinary artist, raised in Brooklyn and based in Queens, New York. She creates immersive experiences through textiles, prints, installations, sculpture and public art. As the daughter of Grenadian immigrants, Neckles reinterprets stories, mythologies and personal narratives of the Afro-Caribbean diaspora, evoking ancestral wisdom from objects and weaving researched histories into artworks that function as archives and rituals.

Her multimedia installation-an examination of identity and memory-was presented at the Grenada Pavilion of the 2019 Venice Biennale. In 2021, she created a traveling public installation for the Lewis Latimer House Museum (Queens, NY) to commemorate the life and legacy of the African American inventor. In 2022, his work was featured in the solo exhibition Bless This House at the Museum of Contemporary Art (Jacksonville, FL). In 2023, he premiered the permanent public art installation The Lunar Portal at the University of Pittsburgh's Mercy Pavilion Plaza (Pittsburgh, PA). In fall 2024, he unveiled The Land Between Open Water subway installation with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority at Westchester Square Station (Bronx, NY). He was recently awarded the NYSCA/NYFA 2025 Artist Fellowship, along with grants from the Queens Arts Fund Program and Artists in Queens to support his upcoming solo exhibition, Steeping Memory: A Collective Offering, opening October 20, 2025 at the Fine Arts Gallery at CUNY York College (Queens, NY).
