About:

Feather Chiaverini is a fiber and performance artist from South Florida currently based in Philadelphia, PA. He explores how queer theory, horror, class, and pop culture shape our identities and how these tools can be used flexibly to shape the self. Inspired by the theater and everyday hustle of his family’s costume shop, he uses costumes as material rather than adornment, creating immersive installations, soft sculptures, and digital environments. Chiaverini received a BFA from the College of Creative Studies in Detroit, MI, and an MFA from Temple University Tyler School of Art and Architecture in Philadelphia, PA. He has shown his work nationally at 2nd Story Gallery, Cannon Ball Arts, One Off Exhibitions Gallery, 2x Grizzly, Blah Blah Gallery, James Oliver Gallery, Trout Museum of Art, N’namdi Center for Contemporary Art, Ice Box Project Space, and more. He has taught classes at Rhode Island School of Design, Oxbow School of Art, and currently adjuncts at Tyler School of Art and Architecture, where he is also the Residency Director of the Queer Materials Lab.
