About Me

My name is Myles André Bonadie and I am a cultural producer, 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, performance studies, and art from the late 19th century to present. Currently, my work concerns the legibility of black life in the wake of climate catastrophe, the uses of detritus, and the relationship between performance and language. I am also a coordinator for the Black/Visual/Culture Working Group, which facilitates collaborative research and programs that attend to questions of racial subjectification and visual culture.

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 in the Directors Office 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 research has been supported by the Whitney Humanities Center, the Center for Race, Indigeneity, and Transnational Migration, and the History of Art Department at Yale.
