Artist's Statement
Decolonizing is an incredibly intimate act. These poems move through self-definition and mirror work to find joy and liberation.
About the Artist
Named "Medicine Woman of Racial Healing" by the elders of her tradition, Sherina Rodriguez Sharpe has dedicated her life to using art and ancestral rituals to transform trauma into power.
A ritualist, writer, alter, and performance artist, Sherina is a master healer initiated in Black and Filipina spiritual technologies and empowered by her elders to create new technologies when needed.
She alchemizes art and ritual to guide freedom movements that dissolve oppression. By courageously facing down the past, she calls down outdated patterns, and opens a higher road of joy, mutual care, play, and deep community relationships. Sharpe is a two-time Kresge Fellow (2024 & 2014), Cave Canem Fellow, and VONA author. She directs The TETRA: Digital Underground Railroad, a secret liberation project with her partner, Chace Morris. Her healing methodologies are taught at Howard, Harvard, and Yale.
When she’s not in ritual, Sherina can be found cuddling her four chihuahuas and basking in her own blend of joy and mischief.
