bio


Trécha Gay Jheneall is a transdisciplinary fluid artist born and raised in Jamaica. Between childhood and adolescence, their life oscillated between Kingston and Portmore before rehoming in the United States. Their creative practice considers the action and movement, memories, and homemaking rituals of Afro-Caribbean People as practice towards a liberatory consciousness, establishing collective and individual notions of belonging, nativity, embodiment and migration. Activated within transdisciplinary modalities using video, sound, performance and installation, Trécha clarifies the relationship between the corporeal and the land, through various processes of ritual,labor, survival, death and living.  

Previous works and collaborations include Black Brown Biennale, Alternate Roots and Black Discourse (UK). More recently they have exhibited in their home and local gallery spaces, The Nic and Uptown Laundry. Their upcoming collective show, wataways, will open at Alabama Contemporary Arts Center in Spring 2024. Trécha received their BFA in Interdisciplinary Studio Art from  Marylhurst University and their MFA in Studio Arts at the University of New Orleans.
