Xaviera Simmons's body of work spans photography, performance, video, sound, sculpture, and installation, and she is committed equally to the examination of these different artistic modes and processes. She may dedicate part of a year to photography, another part to performance, and other parts to installation, video, and sound works, keeping her practice in constant and consistent rotation. 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm EDT/GMT-4

She completed the Whitney Museum’s Independent Study Program in Studio Art (2005) while simultaneously completing a two-year actor-training conservatory with The Maggie Flanigan Studio.
