About Lindsay Garcia

Lindsay Garcia (born 1984, she/her/hers) is a video, performance, and social practice artist. Her artwork thematically engages with queer femme identity, intersectionality/assemblage, defamiliarization, and social justice. She focuses especially on the interconnected (though not parallel) systematic human and nonhuman violences, epitomized in her Feminist Pest Control project. She received a BFA from RISD (Sculpture), an MFA from SUNY Purchase (Visual Arts), an MA from Sotheby’s Institute of Art (Contemporary Art), and an MA from William & Mary (American Studies). Garcia won the Juror’s Prize in the New Directions 2018exhibition at the Barrett Art Center (2018, NY), First in Show in the Crooked Tree Arts Center Juried Fine Arts Exhibition(2018, MN), Third in Show in the Art of Engagement exhibition at Touchstone Gallery (2017), the Outstanding MFA Award at SUNY Purchase (2014) and the Senior Sculpture Prize at RISD (2006). Garcia is currently a doctoral candidate at William & Mary, writing her dissertation entitled: “Re-imagining Pestilence: Visual Culture and Anti-Racist Materialist Approaches to Human-Nonhuman Entanglements.” She has exhibited in far flung locations across the United States, such as San Jose (CA), Bergen (NJ), Richmond (VA), Philadelphia (PA), Providence (RI), Washington (DC), Baton Rouge (LA), and New York (NY). Garcia lives, works, researches, and teaches between Greencastle (IN) and Scarborough (ME).
