    Derrick Woods-Morrow (American, b. 1990) 

    By deploying a wide variety of mediums and drawing connections between personal and historical narratives, Derrick Woods-Morrow uses image to contemplate language, representation, displacement, and freedom as they relate to what it means to be Black and queer in America. Questions of commonality, culture, and community are at the basis of his practice. Locomotion I, A Documentation of Labored Upon Residual Processes (2023) was included in Woods-Morrow’s 2024 solo exhibition Scirocco — Arifi: Where the Sand Meets the Sea which explores invisible labor and rest through a careful analysis of nature, water, and the transatlantic slave trade. 

    Derrick Woods-Morrow received his MFA in Photography from School of Art Institute of Chicago (2016) and was the 2021 Edith and Philip Leonian Fellow at the Center for Photography at Woodstock. His work has been exhibited at Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; Brooklyn Museum, New York; Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; and the 2019 Whitney Biennial; to name a few. He is based in Chicago but teaches at Rhode Island School of Design.
