Artist Profile

Alexis Neumann
US artist and curator
Alexis Neumann (MFA Visual Studies, MA Critical Studies, ’22) is an artist, scholar, and curator whose interactive installations and mixed media works explore the intersections of Disability Studies, Theology, and Intersectionality. Drawing on her lived experience with multiple invisible illnesses, including Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, her practice centers themes of interconnectedness, resiliency, and complexity within the body and the world. Using accessible materials such as vinyl, copper wire, plexiglass, light, and sound, Neumann incorporates biomedical imagery to challenge perceptions of disability and illuminate the nuanced realities of embodied life. A passionate advocate for equity, she platforms other disabled artists through her curatorial work and brings forward the generative knowledge disability offers. She holds degrees from the Pacific Northwest College of Art at Willamette University and the University of Washington in Visual Studies, Critical Studies, Comparative History, and Music.
