About Me

Myles André Bonadie is a PhD student in the History of Art and Black Studies at Yale University whose research concerns to representations of land and landscape in art and visual culture, and draws from Black Geographies and Ecologies, Perforance Studies, Cultural Studies, Literature, and Psychoanalytics. 

They also help coordinate the Black/Visual/Culture Working Group which facilitates collaborative research and programs that attend to questions of racial subjectification and visual culture. Guided by Hortense Spillers’ text Psychoanalysis and Race, the group asks how “ ‘race’ translates into cultural self-production.”

Prior to Yale, Myles was a graduate researcher for Marking Time: Art in the Age of Mass Incarceration and a copyediting assistant for To See in the Dark (2015). They have also held positions at The Studio Museum in Harlem and The Africa Center. Myles has a M.A. in Media, Culture, and Communication from New York University and a B.A. in Media Studies from Pitzer College. 

Myles’ research has been supported by the Center for Race, Indigeneity, and Transnational Migration and the Whitney Center for the Humanities.
