SUSAN HARBAGE PAGE

Born in Greenville, Ohio, lives and works in North Carolina

Susan Harbage Page moved to Charlotte, North Carolina as a child. Being raised in the North and the South has informed her perspective and how her art addresses such concerns as the performance of race and gender, identity politics, and illegal immigration. The subjects and materials of Page’s large-scale photographs, altered textiles, videos, and installations are often associated with women and picture some of the complex intersections of politics, gender, race, and religion in the US, as well as Europe and the Middle East. As is evident in her photographs of subjects dressed in KKK robes sewn from contemporary fabrics, as in a figured toile, Page’s art explores how shared traumatic histories shape present-day social relations. She has shown nationally and internationally. Her art can be found in many public and private collections, including the Baltimore Museum of Art, the Birmingham Museum of Art, the High Museum of Art, the Houston Museum of Fine Arts, and the Israel Museum. Amongst Page’s numerous awards are fellowships from the North Carolina Arts Council, the Camargo Foundation, and the Fulbright Program.

She currently teaches Studio Art and Women’s Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
