Biography

ÌðÐÄÊÓÆµapp

Belle-Pilar Fleming is a curator and visual artist. She holds a BA in Psychology from Warren Wilson College, and an MFA in Printmaking from Ohio University. Rooted in contemporary art, her curatorial practice is shaped by her training as a studio artist and a sustained engagement with modern and critical discourse. Fleming approaches artistic institutions as vital resources for diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice, recognizing that they exist within a complex historical lineage. Central to this approach is accountability—to artists and creators, to audiences, and to the broader community—ensuring that exhibitions are developed through a lens of service.

Fleming’s artistic works draw heavily from research practices based in the social sciences, focusing on the lived experiences of individuals across a spectrum of identity and place. Utilizing personal narrative, ethnography, and data visualization, she investigates the role of the artists as a community historian and the sociocultural contexts which shape our behavior. Her artwork as been exhibited nationally, and internationally, and can be found in a variety of public and private collections. Fleming is a former Artist-in-Residence at the Black Church Print Studio in Dublin, Ireland, and the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks
