Dr. Brooke White

Biography

White’s artistic explorations center on the convergence of place, memory, and time. Using photographic techniques, experimental documentary, portraiture, and video, she delves into topics related to family loss, identity, nature, motherhood, and creative expression. White aims to examine how landscapes serve personal and communal environments, reflecting the dynamic interplay between internal and external experiences that shape one's sense of self and connection to the world. Her latest projects explore the impact of climate-related weather events and rising water levels in regions such as the Gulf South, Caribbean, and Maritimes. White’s work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, notably at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, Georgia Museum of Art in Athens, Chrysler Museum of Art in Norfolk, Ogden Museum of Southern Art in New Orleans, Mississippi Museum of Art in Jackson, and Mamia Bretesche Gallery in Arles & Paris, France. A Senior Fulbright Scholar in Bangalore, India, her work has been published in 'Give and Take: Motherhood and the Creative Process,' 'Aint Bad Magazine,' 'Southern Cultures' (UNC Press), and 'Reckonings and Reconstructions: Southern Photographs' (Good Collection, Oxford American). She is a recipient of the National Council of Arts Administrators Fellowship and Sarah Isom Fellowship from the Sarah Isom Center for Women’s and Gender Studies at the University of Mississippi, and has been an artist in residence at the Penland School of Crafts in Penland, NC, and SlowE in Zebulon, GA.
