Alexandria Robinson (b. 1996) is a visual artist from Nassau, Bahamas.
She received her BFA at Moore College of Art & Design in Philadelphia, PA, in 2018 and received her MFA at Goldsmiths College of Art in London, UK in 2020.
Her work involves painting, metal sculpture, different forms of collage, and collective performance. Visually, she creates images that question the nature of materiality within a political, ecological and social context, while also exploring the harmony they create within a composition. The role collective performance plays within her practice adds an embodied dimension to these visual explorations. Through interactive experiences where the body is viewed as an art object through movement and sound, the performative aspect creates an emotional dialogue that extends beyond the visual, allowing others to engage with themes of connection in real time. This performative layer deepens the emotional resonance of the visual work, reinforcing the fluid boundaries between self, material, and collective experience.
Rooted in a Pan-African lineage that bridges the Caribbean, North America, and the African continent, she has consistently explored the figure's relationship to the spaces we inhabit, often addressing questions of complex identities and diasporic experiences. In recent years, her focus has shifted towards the figure's relationship to broken landscapes within the context of the black Anthropocene.
However, her work now factors in the figure's connection to the true spiritual self, transcending socially constructed and perceived identities. It is an exploration of the essence that exists beyond the confines of specific labels and explores the universal human experience.
