Kachelle Knowles is a contemporary artist who explores the ideas of gender identity, cultural preservation/ production, and social relations within the black community. Her approach is both masculine and feminine with the black male figure as her main subject matter.
She received her Bachelor’s degree in Illustration at Emily Carr University of Art and Design in Vancouver, Canada in 2017. Knowles has participated in numerous exhibitions in The Bahamas both in local galleries, such as The Current: Baha Mar Gallery and Art Center, and prestigious national institutions, such as the Central Bank of The Bahamas and The National Art Gallery of The Bahamas, where she had a solo, “Bahamian Man Since Time,’ in 2019. Internationally, she has exhibited in China, in Venice, Italy, Toronto, Canada, and the Dominican Republic.
