Biography
Alexis Hithe (b.1994) is an artist and producer working through an interdisciplinary and intuitive practice of film and cultural work. Her dedication to advancing the form of moving image is expressed in a range of mediums, materials, and subjects that traverse the traditions and histories of the trans-Atlantic Black experience. In her commitment to cultural work, Alexis continues the legacies of filmmakers, writers and artists who center community based anticolonial and anti-capitalist practices as a form of resistance to the violence and oppression of empires.
Alexis successfully defended her MFA thesis, “Let That Window Be a Door,” at the University of California San Diego with an installation of "29, or 30 or a Thousand Million Mirrors" in which 29 body length mirrors lay on the floor crushed nearly to dust, as three projectors cast an 11 minute video loop that bounces off the mirrors, and reassembles onto the gallery walls.
Alexis was born and raised in the Mojave Desert of Palmdale, California.
