Amy Andrieux

An award-winning curator, educator, and creative (writer / digital), Amy Andrieux uplifts the cultural breadth of Africa and the African diaspora through exhibitions, interactive learning, and advocacy. Rooted in social justice, she serves on the Governors Island Community Advisory Committee and Prospect Park Alliance’s Community Committee, and is a board member of New Yorkers for Culture & Arts and Downtown Brooklyn Arts Alliance. She has received the 400 Years of African-American History Commission Trailblazer Award and a proclamation from New York City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams for her work to bridge the city’s African diaspora. Andrieux is the founder of the Arts Alliance of Africa + Diaspora, a global network of Black arts leaders creating sustainable community solutions, and is a 2024–25 Mellon Fellow for Faculty Excellence at The New School. She is developing an immersive, historical fiction film series supported by WarnerMedia Onefifty, which explores the sordid history between the United States and Haiti. A first-generation American-born daughter of Haitian immigrants, Andrieux is inspired by the Negritude movement and is interested in migratory patterns, psychic memory, dreams, radical crusades, and rhythmic outcomes.
