ABOUT CHANELL STONE
Chanell Stone (b.1992, Los Angeles) is an American artist and photographer living and working in Oakland, CA. Stone earned her BFA in Photography from the California College of the Arts in 2019. Her practice focuses on challenging insular views of Blackness by expanding on narratives subject to Black erasure. This avidity has led her to explore the Black body’s connection to the natural world. Through a compilation of environmental self-portraits, she uses herself as a conduit to depict both personal and collective Black narratives. Stone’s notable accomplishments include her solo exhibition “Natura Negra’’ at the Museum of the African Diaspora San Francisco, her inclusion in the 2019 Aperture Summer Open at the Aperture Foundation New York, and being a selected finalist for the 2020 Artadia San Francisco Award. Stone has exhibited at Casemore Kirkeby San Francisco, SF Camerawork, Berkeley Art Center and the Center for Photography at Woodstock, New York in which her work is permanently collected. She is the recipient of the 2019-2020 Emerging Artist Award at the Museum of the African Diaspora San Francisco, the Svane Family Foundation Artwork Commission, and a 2020 Artist-in-Residence at Real Time and Space Oakland. Stone's practice was featured in W Magazine's "8 Young Photographers to Follow in 2020."
