Rodell Warner is a Trinidadian artist working primarily in new media and photography, and a Moving Image MFA student at Bard College. Rooted in the exploration of race, nature, and technologies of representation, Rodell’s artworks draw on personal and institutional archives to rethink the past, and on digital processes to index emancipatory futures.

His ongoing animated digital interventions into early Caribbean photography have been featured in several exhibitions, including Fragments of Epic Memory at the Art Gallery of Ontario (2022), and the solo exhibition Fictions More Precious as part of the Tito’s Prize at Big Medium in Austin, Texas (2024). These works were recognized with an honorary mention at the Prix Ars Electronica (2025).

In 2025, Rodell opened his first solo museum exhibition, Rodell Warner + Audubon + His Journals, at the Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art. The show featured web-based, text-based, and moving-image works that engaged with the museum’s collection of John James Audubon prints, and raised critical questions about the 19th-century artist and naturalist’s legacy.

Also in 2025, Rodell’s web-based moving-image work World Is Turning—a presentation of a 13-year archive of his moving-image practice—was installed at the Museum of the Moving Image.

Rodell has lived and worked primarily between Port of Spain (Trinidad), Kingston (Jamaica), and Austin (Texas), and is currently based in Boston, Massachusetts.
