Zoë Gamell Brown is a queer, first-generation Boviander Guyanese American integrative artist, educator, and storyteller based in Kalapuya Ilihi. Her work explores multiplicity within Guyanese relationality, extending from South American shores to the Caribbean Sea and Gulf Coast through ancestral practices, ceramic sculptures, culinary catharsis, creative nonfiction, experimental video, photopoetry, restorative cartography, and sonic arts.

Brown is a doctoral student in the University of Oregon Indigenous, Race, and Ethnic Studies’ inaugural cohort and a recipient of the New Media and Culture Certificate. Her research explores the shoals where race and Indigeneity meet within Boviander ecologies, using critical autotheory to practice creative, culinary, microbial, and spiritual care. In 2020, she founded Fernland Studios to reimagine environmentalism through artist residencies, educational retreats, and writing workshops with Black, Indigenous, and people of color.
