kiarita is a Brooklyn-based interdisciplinary artist of Caribbean descent. Their practice explores intimacy, memory, and care through oil-painted portraits of chosen family, often integrated within found furniture and sculptural elements that activate the surrounding space. Their work investigates the creation of home, examining the intersections of healing, generational trauma, and relational proximity, inviting viewers into immersive installations that require interaction and reflection. Through a combination of portraiture, assemblage, and material experimentation, kiarita seeks to extend beyond representation, offering a nuanced exploration of connection, presence, and the tender complexities of everyday life. They have been the recipient of the Bronx AIM & Van Lier Trust Fellowships, as well as participated in many group exhibitions nationally, their work culminating in a six-month 2025 solo exhibition entitled "home[body]" at Hausen in Brooklyn, NY.
