Ruth K. Henry

Layering colors, texture, and poetry into intricate reflections on community and possibility, Ruth K. Henry’s belief in art’s power to unite people across painful divides is born of lived experiences as a socially engaged artist, both locally and globally. Locally, she has exhibited at venues such as Boston Center for the Arts, Center for Latino Arts, Piano Factory, Harvard University, and others. Globally, she has exhibited in venues such as the Palacio de Inquisición in Cartagena, Colombia, the Partners of the Americas Convention in Florianopolis, Brazil, and the Srishti Institute of Art, Design & Technology in Bangalore, India. Her murals stretch from Boston to Florida to Colorado, across Mexico, Haiti, Colombia, and India. Publications include Dalit: Por Lo Posible, Can We Rise?, illustrations for Foundlings, and “360 Degrees”, an essay in Mothering & Hip Hop Culture. She received her BA from Hampshire College, continued her studies through a Fulbright grant to Colombia, and received her MFA from Massachusetts College of Art & Design. She currently works as a teaching Artist-in-Residence at the Louis D. Brown Peace Institute and at the Harvard Graduate School of Education.
