Zoë Gamell Brown (she/they)
Chinook Illahee, Oregon
Howdy, how are you? My name is Zoë, and I am a steward, storyteller, and wanderer. I grew up on Munsee Lenape land in Roselle Park, New Jersey, before moving to Akokisa land outside Houston, Texas, at seven. My work aims to honor Boviander sense of place through ceramic sculptures, creative nonfiction, experimental video, and photopoetry projections.
I’m the founder and a co-steward Fernland. I am also a doctoral candidate in the University of Oregon Indigenous, Race, and Ethnic Studies' inaugural cohort, where my research explores emotional and ecological elasticity. I’m honored to have my work supported by the Kalliopeia Foundation, Literary Arts, Seeding Justice, Tin House, and more.
When I’m not daydreaming, you can find me rambling around the Pacific Northwest, taking pictures of trees and sea anemones.
