Dr. Antoinette Ellis-Williams artist statement:
justice and divinity:
an african american liturgy
conversation,
performances and art
“ Antoinette’s ability to masterfully use storytelling in her art
is reminiscent of an ancestral trait. She weaves familiar
and unfamiliar narratives with abstract marks and lines
to create vibrant kaleidoscopic works of art.”
— Laura Bonas Palmer, Co-Owner, Akwaaba Gallery in Newark
Dr. Antoinette Ellis-Williams is an emerging, Jamaican-born, multi-media,
interdisciplinary, abstract contemporary artist, playwright, scholar and poet.
An advocate for women, she uses history, politics, culture and imagination
to tell their stories. Her work is a commentary on injustice and the textured lives
of marginalized people. She creates as a way of unpacking rage, pain, contradictions,
beauty, agency and joy while trying to understand the complex history and narrative
of Blackness hin the United States and Black in the diaspora.
In 2023, she founded and directed Red Dirt and Pot Liquor: Tracing Legacy & Memory
of Black Women, a storytelling archival project collected from 24 women ages 60
and older. She is part of Womb of Violet, a project-based collective created
by fayemi shakur that honors the work of contemporary Black women writers,
poets and artists and pays homage to Black feminist and womanist thinkers.
Justice & Divinity: An African American Liturgy (2025) is Ellis-Williams’s new book
of poetry. Her work has also appeared in Scoundrel Time, When Women Speak
Anthology, Tribes 16, The Newarker and others. She has performed at the Bowery
Poetry Club, When Women Speak podcast and many open mics.
She is a playwright and actor of Scarf Diaries. Her one-woman play premiered
in 2017 at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center and won best play at the 2021
Downtown Urban Arts Festival in New York City.
Ellis-Williams’s documentary Lee Hagan: Connecting Generations (2016) won best
short documentary at the Newark Black Film Festival. Her TEDx Talk, “Finding Justice
in the Land of the Free” (2015), tries to unpack her immigrant status in America.
Ellis-Williams’s public art is displayed in Newark Airport Terminal A (United Airlines
Club Lounge) and she’s part of the Newark Artist Collaboration with Audible
and the “Magnitude and Bond” mural with Womb of Violet Collective.
Her solo exhibitions include Akwaaba Gallery, NICO Kitchen + Bar, the Visual
Art Gallery at NJCU and Moody-Jones Gallery; her work has also appeared
in The Newark Museum of Art, The Jazz Gallery, Bergdorf Goodman, NJ State
Museum, Art in the Atrium at the Mayo Performing Arts Center, Overlook Hospital,
Consulate General of Greece in NYC and many other places.
Ellis-Williams is a Professor of women’s and gender studies at New Jersey City
University. She earned her Ph.D. in public policy and urban and regional
planning from Cornell University. She is also a licensed minister who preaches
throughout the tri-state region.
