Jill H. Casid

An artist-theorist and historian, Jill H. Casid is professor of visual studies with a cross-appointment in the Departments of Art History and Gender and Women’s Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Casid pursues a research practice across writing, photography, and film that is dedicated to queer, crip, trans*feminist, and decolonial interventions. Casid exhibits their artwork nationally and internationally, including recent exhibitions at Signs and Symbols and the Ford Foundation Gallery in New York and Documenta fifteen. Casid focuses on forging solidarities and kinship across our throwaway world in the book Sowing Empire: Landscape and Colonization and Scenes of Projection and in two recent films, Untitled (Melancholy as Medium) and Untitled (Throw Out). Their current projects concern the question of doing things with being undone in the Necrocene and what aesthetics can do in confronting the political problem of form in the situation of crisis ordinary.
