Alexandria Robinson (b. 1996, Nassau, Bahamas) is a visual artist working across ritual, material, and embodied practice. Her work spans painting on iron, metal sculpture, and collective ritual, engaging material as an archive where rust, surface, and erosion exist as living carriers of history, memory, and transformation.


Rooted in a Pan-African lineage bridging the Caribbean, North America, and the African continent, Robinson explores the figure as a spiritual, ancestral, and ecological body. Her work investigates how identity, land, and memory are shaped by systems of power, displacement, and survival within the 'Black Anthropocene', as theorised by Kathryn Yusoff.


Working primarily on iron and reclaimed materials, she allows natural processes such as oxidation, weathering, and time to participate in the making of the work. These materials function not only as formal elements, but as metaphors for empire, extraction, endurance, and the inevitable reclamation of human structures by the natural world.


Alongside her visual practice, Robinson creates collective ritual spaces through voice, movement, and drumming. These embodied gatherings activate the body as a vessel of memory and release, extending the work beyond the visual into lived, communal experience. In this way, her practice resists the separation between object, body, and land.


While her work remains rooted in diasporic identity and fractured landscapes shaped by colonisation and extraction, Robinson approaches these terrains through spiritual sovereignty. This lens allows her to investigate the self beyond imposed categories while remaining in dialogue with inherited histories. Rather than seeking fixed identity, her work invites a return to instinct, ancestral memory, and inner knowing as pathways toward reconnection.


Her work is not conceived as static objects for enclosed spaces, but as offerings meant to exist in dialogue with land, weather, cyclical time, and collective presence. Through this approach, Robinson positions art not only as representation, but as ritual, remembrance, and reclamation.
