Zoë Gamell Brown is a queer, first-generation Boviander Guyanese American integrative artist, educator and storyteller based in Kalapuya Ilihi. Her work explores multiplicity within Guyanese relationality, extending from South American shores to the Caribbean Sea and Gulf Coast through ancestral practices, ceramic sculptures, culinary catharsis, creative nonfiction, experimental video, photopoetry, restorative cartography and sonic arts.

Brown is a doctoral student in the University of Oregon Indigenous, Race and Ethnic Studies' inaugural cohort and a recipient of the New Media and Culture Certificate. Their research explores the shoals where race and Indigeneity meet within Boviander ecologies, using critical autotheory to practice creative, culinary, microbial and spiritual care. In 2020, she founded Fernland Studios to reimagine environmentalism through artist residencies, educational retreats and writing workshops with Black, Indigenous and people of color.

They are a 2023 Lilla Jewel Award recipient through Seeding Justice and a Charles A. Reed Graduate Fellow through the UO College of Arts and Sciences. Brown received a Digital Evolution/Artist Retention Fellowship through the Caribbean Cultural Center African Diaspora Institute and a Louise Westling Distinguished Environmental Justice Fellowship through the UO Pacific Northwest Racial and Climate Justice Futures Institute and the Holden Center for Leadership in 2022. She was a part of the inaugural UO Women Innovation Network cohort and a member of the National Education for Women's Leadership of Oregon through Portland State University in 2021.
