Shervone Neckles is a Grenadian-American, Brooklyn-raised interdisciplinary artist based in Queens, New York. She creates immersive experiences through textiles, prints, installations, sculptures, and public art. Her work reinterprets Afro-Caribbean American histories, mythologies, and personal narratives, drawing on ancestral wisdom embedded in objects and weaving researched stories into artworks that serve as both archives and rituals.

Her multimedia installation Bless This House —an examination of selfhood and memory— was featured in the 2019 Venice Biennale’s Grenada Pavilion. She also created an outdoor installation at the Lewis Latimer House Museum (Flushing, Queens) to commemorate the life and legacy of the African-American inventor, which has traveled to Downtown Brooklyn (NY), the Museum of Science (Boston, MA), Chelsea City Hall (Chelsea, MA), and the Library Foundation of Los Angeles (Los Angeles, CA). In 2022-2023, her work was presented in a solo exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art (Jacksonville, FL). In 2023, she debuted The Lunar Portal, a permanent public art installation at the University of Pittsburgh Mercy Pavilion Plaza (Pittsburgh, PA), and in fall 2024, she unveiled The Land Between Open Water subway installation with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority at the Westchester Square station (Bronx, NY). Neckles is currently in the group exhibition, Past as Prologue: A Historical Acknowledgement, Part II, presented by the National Academy of Design (New York, NY), on view until April 2025. Her upcoming exhibition, Steeping Memory, will open October 2025 at CUNY, York College Fine Art Gallery.
