Alexis Kyle Mitchell (born Canada) is an artist and scholar based in the UK. Her projects make use of the concepts of space and place, to reconfigure relationships to memory, politics and acts of belonging. She often works collaboratively alongside artist Sharlene Bamboat under the moniker ‘Bambitchell’. Mitchell recently completed a PhD in Human Geography at the University of Toronto where she held a SSHRC Doctoral Fellowship. She was artist-in-residence at Akademie Schloss Solitude (2015-2017) and at the MacDowell Colony (2018), and fellow at Sommerakademie Paul Klee (2017-2019). Recent exhibitions include Mercer Union (Toronto), Berwick Film & Media Arts Festival & the Berlinale as a part of Forum Expanded, and an upcoming solo exhibition (Bambitchell) at the Henry Art Gallery (Seattle). Recent writing and research can be read in ‘Digital Lives in the Global City’ forthcoming from UBC Press and in ‘Queer at Camp’ published by Fordham University Press. In 2020-2022 Mitchell will hold a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Anthropology and Disability Studies at New York University.
