Serena Caffrey (they/she) is a visual and performance artist, arts worker, writer, educator, and consultant currently based in Northwest Arkansas (Osage, Quapaw, and Caddo lands). Across disciplines, their work aims to cultivate personal and community divestment from capitalistic logics of linear time-space, body coloniality, and extractive attitudes toward land through a radical assessment of personal limits and ecologically-responsive studio approaches. They just completed their MFA at the University of Arkansas - Fayetteville in 2026 and also hold a BA from Bard College, where their thesis performance entitled The Anxiety of Being Wrong gained numerous honors. In 2025, Caffrey co-curated the Terra Foundation-funded convening program entitled Resounding Sovereign Expressions: Resurgent Indigenuity in Ozark Arts Practice & Scholarship alongside Aaron Turner and Elise Boulanger (Osage Nation). Caffrey is currently conducting material research towards the production of sculptural ceramic filters, a body of work they will continue this summer at PerfocraZe International Artist Residency, KNUST Ceramics, and Red Clay Studio in Kumasi and Tamale, Ghana. They believe in the power of communities to craft the worlds they want to belong to, and regularly contribute their skills as a grant writer to help fund exhibitions, found DIY-schools, publish art books, and build printshops.
