Shawanda Corbett’s (New York, b. 1989) studio practice background is in ceramics (vessel making). The craft principles, fundamentals and discipline in ceramics are applied to other mediums, such as dance theatre production (live performance and film performance). This technique is called craft theory. Currently, she is researching how AI facilitates craft theory in her studio practice. This includes: 1. Designing temporary architecture for live dance and music performances. The temporary architecture design's aim is to immerse the audience into acoustic sound without the traditional scale and structure of concert halls. 2. Composing music. 3. Cinematography robotics for dance performances in film. 4. Mechanical dance performances with human dancers. Corbett is currently pursuing her practice-led doctoral degree in Fine Art at the Ruskin School of Art and Wadham College, University of Oxford. Her research redefines Donna Haraway's cyborg theory, or the cybernetic organism, as anything mechanical that enhances an individual's life. The research also focuses on the relationship between human beings and technology created with Artificial Intelligence. She approaches this through science fiction films and literature but assumes the perspective of a differently abled-body (cyborg) woman of colour, so this includes texts, film (visual representation), music in African American history/African history and Artificial Intelligence history. Her first solo exhibition, Neighbourhood Garden, was held at the Corvi-Mora Gallery in London (2020). She described the exhibit as a revisit of her family’s history as southern African Americans living between Mississippi and New York. The work challenged the history of African American tropes without reducing her subjects to their physical bodies by focusing on the individual’s personality, daily activity or place of residence.
