Naomi White is an abolitionist feminist, artist, and educator, working on ideas at the intersection of political ecology and photography. White's works ask how can we shift our focus away from the current model of domination to one of equity and collective voice, for the sake of all people, animals and the planet.
White is the winner of The 2024 Associate's Award at Brand 52 and was a finalist for the 2023 Hopper Prize. White has exhibited and spoken about her work throughout North America and Europe, including art fairs Tryst, Scope, Spectrum, Kolajfest, and Photo LA.
Teaching is an essential part of White's practice. She teaches classes exploring Lighting for Personal Projects, The Craft of Consumption, The Art of Collage, The Archive, Technology and Instagram; Ecology, Ethics & Activism; Photographic Theory; Dreaming in Collage, and The Lighting of Desire and Disgust. White co-curates thesis exhibitions with her students at NYFA (New York Film Academy, Los Angeles) where she is currently Adjunct Associate Professor of Photography.
