Dell Marie Hamilton
Collaborating Artist

Dell Marie Hamilton is a Boston-based interdisciplinary artist, writer, and independent curator. Working across a variety of media including performance, painting, photography, and video, she uses the body to investigate the social and geopolitical constructions of personal memory, citizenship, gender and history. She has presented solo performances in New York at the Panoply Performance Lab and the Five Myles Gallery as well as extensively in and around New England including Boston University’s 808 Gallery, the Museum of Fine Arts/Boston, and at Dartmouth College’s Hood Museum of Art.  In 2019, she also performed at the Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, where she became the first visual artist, in their 64-year history, to present a performance artwork in their galleries. With roots in Belize, Honduras and the Caribbean, she often draws upon her family’s experiences and the folkloric tradition of these regions.

She was a participating artist in the 13th Havana Biennial as part of Afro-Cuban artist Maria Magdalena Campos-Pons’s curatorial project, Intermittent Rivers, and her most recent curatorial project “Nine Moments for Now” was ranked by Hyperallergic.com as one of 2018’s top 20 exhibitions in the U.S. Dell, along with her collaborator, Magda Fernandez, are part of the U.S. Latinx Art Forum’s 2021 inaugural cohort of recipients of the Charla Fund, a Ford Foundation-sponsored initiative that provides grants to Latinx artists.
