Hi, my name is Dana Washington-Queen. I'm an art researcher and lens-based artist living in Oakland, California.
I engage black studies and ethnography from a feminist perspective to deepen my understanding of human connection, the ways minoritized groups make meaning under changing political environments, and how family and kinship systems shape political, social, and sexual consciousness.
Over the course of my practice, I've taught inside and outside of the classroom, published poems and short essays, showcased video/films in programs and festivals, produced photo projects, and conceptualized installations in art galleries.
Currently, I'm developing a collection of fiction short stories and video installations after years-long study in Southern California and the American South.
