About

Christie Neptune is an Afro-Caribbean American interdisciplinary artist, educator, and researcher based in the United Kingdom.[5][7] She received her M.S. from the MIT School of Architecture and Planning in Art, Culture, and Technology (completed June 2023) and her B.A. in Visual Arts from Fordham University.[1][5] Neptune's artistic practice examines spatial-temporal articulations of the body within discursive urban space, exploring how constructs of race, gender, and class limit the personal experiences of historically marginalized individuals of color.[1][5] Currently, Neptune is reading for a DPhil in fine art practice at the Ruskin School of Art at the University of Oxford, supported by The Clarendon Fund and the Flora Welch Clarendon Scholarship at St Hugh's College.[7] Her doctoral research, tentatively entitled "Towards an African Cosmology: A Marked Axiological Shift in Representational Practice," interrogates digital surveillance tools including AI-powered biometric technology, CCTV, and algorithmic governance.[7] She has worked as a visiting lecturer in the MFA photography department at Parsons School of Design and the Foundations department at Pratt Institute in New York City.[7]

Interdisciplinary practice exploring phenomenological blackness, black subjectivity, and spatial-temporal articulations of identity. Incorporates mid-20th-century minimalist aesthetics, feminist geographies, conceptualism, assemblage, and relational aesthetics.[5]
