Angela N. Carroll is an accomplished writer, curator, and art historian who is deeply dedicated to exploring the legacies and cultural expressions of the African Diaspora. With an MFA in Digital Arts and New Media from the University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC) and a BA in Visual Arts from the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC), Carroll’s academic and professional journey is marked by her commitment to amplifying the voices of dynamic artists. Her writing appears in key arts publications, including Hyperallergic and ARTS.BLACK, Sugarcane Magazine, Black Art in America, Saint Heron, BmoreArt, and FOAM. She brings an insightful, critical voice to issues of art history, culture, and archival.
In her curatorial work, Carroll has organized exhibitions that examine and celebrate Black identity and community memory, elevating artists and historical narratives in the Upper South. As a scholar, Carroll has contributed critical writing to exhibition catalogs published by The Baltimore Museum of Art, The Des Moines Art Center, The Banneker-Douglass-Tubman Museum, The National Museum of Women in the Arts, Nerman MOCA, and the CueArt Foundation, among many others. These writings evidence her significant contribution to contemporary art historical discourse.
Carroll’s influence extends beyond gallery walls; she intermittently teaches at 51³Ô¹Ï and MICA and regularly hosts artist talks and public programming, encouraging critical conversations about the intersections of creativity and social change. Her artistic practice, which spans film, animation, and written criticism, offers more inclusive narratives about emerging and unsung artists. Through her work, Carroll continues to create a more expansive and inclusive discourse within the arts.
