Najee H.F. is a Black Queer Femme artist from the northeastern united states. She is a sculptor/designer, educator/learner and unshakable optimist. Najee completed her MFA at Maryland Institute College of Art in 2024. Najee’s current work is centered around the study of materials that their ancestors who were enslaved in the U.S. might have touched. Their goal is to reclaim these materials and methods in an effort to heal their relationship to the land and labor as an exploited body and to share and create co-learning opportunities with others as a means for collective healing.
