Samantha Box is a Jamaican-born, Bronx-based artist who uses photography, sound and installation to chart the fluctuating and tenuous physical and psychosocial spaces of queerness and diaspora. She holds an MFA in Advanced Photographic Studies from the International Center of Photography-Bard College. Her work has been recently showcased in solo exhibitions at Light Work, the Des Moines Art Center, and the National Museum of Women in the Arts (DC), and in group exhibitions at Le Rencontres d’Arles, the Bronx Museum of Arts, and Baxter Street CCNY.
Box has been an artist-in-residence at the Center of Photography at Woodstock, the Visual Studies Workshop and at Light Work. She has been awarded a NYFA/NYSCA Fellowship in Photography twice: in 2010 and in 2022, an En Foco Fellowship, and a Silver Eye Fellowship. In 2023, she was shortlisted for the Aperture Portfolio Prize, the Louis Roederer Discovery Award, and the Prix De La Photo Madame Figaro; in 2024, she was nominated for the Foam Paul Huf Award; and in 2025, she was shortlisted for the CPW Saltzman Prize. Her work is in the collections of the Museum of Fine Art Houston, and of the Harvard Art Museums.
