D Rosen

D Rosen is a writer and sculptor. They exhibit and publish internationally but are currently based on the stolen lands of the Council of the Three Fires, known as Chicago, IL. Rosen has focused on nonhuman animals in their interspecies collaborations, care work, and artistic practice for over twelve years. They operate from the position that questions of animality are not binary but rather a tangle of ecologies and richly complicated identities framed by culture. Publications include “Gorgets: Trans Hummingbirds and Iridescent Echos,” Queering Nature, Antennae (2024); “Chrysanthemum Powder and Other Interspecies Scent Rituals,” Olfactory Art and the Political in an Age of Resistance, Routledge (2021); and “fashioning the undead,” A Trace of Fashioned Violence (2020). Selected exhibitions include Elemental Impressions of Interspecies Care, of Violence, ACRE Projects, Chicago (2024); Lunglike Shadows, Arnarhlíð 1, Reykjavík (2023); and In Spite of Enclosures, The University of North Carolina at Charlotte (2021). Residencies include Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture; S12 and USF Verftet, Bergen, Norway; JOYA, Parque Natural Sierra María, Los Vélez, Spain; and HEIMA, Seyðisfjörður, Iceland. Rosen received grants from the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events (2021 and 2024), the Illinois Arts Council (2020), and the Nordic Summer University (2020).  d-rosen.com
