My name is Myles André Bonadie and I am a writer, researcher, and PhD student at Yale University in the History of Art and Black Studies. My research interests include visual culture, black geographies, psychoanalysis, literary studies, and art from the 20th century to present. Currently, my work attends to questions around the representability of black life in the wake of climate catastrophe, the value of detritus, and the relationship between performance and narrative.
Prior to Yale, I was a graduate researcher for Marking Time: Art in the Age of Mass Incarceration, a copyediting assistant for To See in the Dark (2015), a member of the programming team at The Africa Center, and an intern at The Studio Museum in Harlem. I have an M.A. in Media, Culture, and Communication from New York University, and a B.A. in Media Studies from Pitzer College.
My recent researchhas been supported by the Whitney Humanities Center, The Center for Race, Indigeneity, and Transnational Migration, and the History of Art Department.
