Sam Fitz

MA Curatorial '26

An honors graduate from the University of California, Berkeley’s Art Practice program, Sam is a multidisciplinary artist exploring how archival research can be used to explore threads connecting queer communities over the course of decades. During her undergraduate years, Sam delved into these histories through a myriad of mediums, specifically looking at how sapphic communities were able to radicalize, reimagine, and reconstruct the sanctity of the domestic space against the framework of a heteronormative canon. Her most recent works look to explore how queer aesthetics and visual histories are co-opted and appropriated through capitalism’s need for unbounded consumption.
