Edgie Amisial (b. 1998) is a queer Haitian-American artist and writer based in NYC. Using a multidisciplinary approach to her creative practice, Edgie explores gender, sexuality, race, and intergenerational trauma and healing. She tells stories of queer Black femme identity and survival, pulling inspiration from surrealism, spirituality, and Haitian and African mythology. Currently, Edgie is using her practice to explore the roles that mythology, mysticism, and speculation can play in the embodied and spiritual liberation of Black femme and queer communities.
