St. Elmo Artist-in-Residence Talk: Taisha Carrington

The Visual Arts Center welcomes 2026–27 St. Elmo Arts Residency Fellow Taisha Carrington for an artist talk examining her interdisciplinary practice across sculpture and performance. Tracing her path from Barbados to New Haven, Carrington will discuss how she uses natural materials, such as soil and ocean water, to uncover the physical and cultural histories they carry. The artist’s solo exhibition will open at the VAC on January 22, 2027, where she will use dust as a medium to explore deep time and celestial bodies in relation to her own. The presentation will be one hour and will be followed by a Q&A session.
