Cheyenne Wyzzard-Jones is an interdisciplinary researcher, curator, playwright, and educator whose work spans international development, curriculum development, race and gender studies, reproductive justice, prison abolition, and land sovereignty. Rooted in Critical Race Theory, Black Feminist Discourse, and Spatial Justice Methodologies, their research explores the impacts of globalization, colonialism, and environmental exploitation on Black, Indigenous, queer, and migrant communities. As a Black Indigenous Queer Femme, her positionality in her work stems from both a practice in creative oral and written storytelling alongside a dedication to remembrance that has been passed down to her. Their curatorial practice centers the experiences of the Black Diaspora, global Indigenous communities, and queer futures; creating immersive, multi-sensory spaces for reflection and connection. Cheyenne’s love for curation is rooted in her love for creating spaces where the audience can experience what is, what was, and what could be.

Artist studio visits are a vital extension of SIP’s practice, offering intimate invitations to the spaces where ideas take form and worlds are built. They allow us to engage deeply with the processes, intentions, and lived realities of contemporary artists whose work surfaces erased histories and overlooked narratives. These visits are not only curatorial tools but also moments of critical learning, where dialogue, design, and space-making blend to shape how we experience and understand art.

We have a revolving collection of acclaimed artists collaborating to produce admirable work that reflects everyday realities. We curate spaces for artists to connect, engage, and reflect. It is our mission to create conversational pieces and spaces that last beyond a singular moment.
