Madjeen Isaac

Artist Website

Madjeen Isaac is a Brooklyn based Haitian-American artist whose practice is rooted in home, communality and land stewardship. Growing up in a predominantly Caribbean neighborhood and being a first generation American influences her process of reimagining landscapes, incorporating elements of her hometown Brooklyn and ancestral homeland Haiti. 

Isaac centers narratives of Black and Caribbean folks leaning into practices such as agriculture and tending to the spaces they occupy in exchange of joy, liberation and leisure without the constraints of reality. 

Isaac received a BFA in Fine Art from The Fashion Institute of Technology (2018) and an MA in Art+Edu & Community Practice at New York University (2021). She was a recipient of BRIClab: Contemporary Art Residence Program (2022/23), the Laundromat Project Fellowship (2021) and LakouNOU at Haiti Cultural Exchange (2018). Her work has been exhibited at Swivel Gallery (2023) Jenkins Johnson Projects Gallery (2023), The Frost Art Museum (2023), Sean Horton Presents Gallery (2022), The Art and Design Gallery at FIT (2020) among others and has works in private collections. Isaac is a recipient of the Women of Distinction Award for Arts and Entertainment Award (2022) and New York City Artist Corps Grant (2021).
