Alexis Joy Hagestad (she/they) was born and raised in Missoula, Montana, which is located on the traditional lands of the Salish, Kootenai, and Kalispel people. As a child, she believed she lived on half of the earth because of the vastness of the sky. In her interdisciplinary practice, she utilizes sculpture and lens-based media to explore the Anthropocene, the era defined by human influence on the planet. Her work highlights our role in shaping the environment and the future while amplifying the often overlooked perspectives of non-human species. Alexis holds a B.F.A. in Photography from the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) and is currently an MFA candidate in Photography, Video, and Imaging (PVI) at the University of Arizona in Tucson, Arizona, which is on the traditional lands of the O’odham and Yaqui peoples.
