Melissa Joseph is a New York based artist. Her work considers themes of memory, family history, and the politics of how we occupy spaces. By using needle felting and found objects, she intentionally alludes to the labors of women as well as experiences as a second generation American and the unique juxtapositions of diasporic life.


Her work has been shown at the Brooklyn Museum, Delaware Contemporary, Woodmere Art Museum, Utah Museum of Contemporary Art, Brattleboro Museum and Art Center, Jeffrey Deitch Projects and ICA San Francisco. She has been featured in Hyperallergic, Art Forum, Artnet, Artnews, New American Paintings, Vogue, Le Monde, CNN, WNYC and Architectural Digest, Whitewall, Family Style, and participated in residencies including Artpace, Dieu Donné Workspace Residency, The Textile Arts Center, Fountainhead, the Archie Bray Foundation for Ceramic Arts, the Museum of Arts and Design and Greenwich House Pottery. Her work is in the permanent collections of the Brooklyn Museum, Ruby City, the RISD Museum and the ICA Miami. She is a regular contributor to BOMB Magazine.
