Taisha Carrington is a Jewelry designer and multidisciplinary artist from Barbados. She works in
performance, sculpture, body adornment, and installation. Her work seeks to promote solidarity
with the land and investigate the liminality of life in the Caribbean after colonialism and into the
Anthropocene. Taisha invents ‘devices’ and explores performances for self-healing and
facilitation of social dialogue about climate justice while proposing methods for rebirth,
reclamation, and reimagining the value of Caribbean people and communities.
Taisha graduated from Pratt Institute in 2018 with a BFA in Jewelry Design and metalsmithing
and the award for the most outstanding thesis collection. She was also selected by New York
City Jewelry Week for their inaugural One For The Future initiative and awarded as a CFDA+
Design Graduate by the Council of Fashion Designers of America- an award given annually to
exemplary new talent from a pool of graduates around the world. Taisha's work can be found in Montreal's Stewart Collection and The Dallas Museum of Art's wearable art collection.
