Felisha Carénage uses performance and painting to explore the ethics of empire as played out in the carnivalesque of her biography, guided by architectural, legal and literary tropes. Her accompanying digital and sonic experiments adulterate the print and online media which promulgate nationhood in the Caribbean, North America and Europe.

Carénage’s projects have been presented at MARKK and the Museum of Applied Arts in Hamburg, Schifffahrtsmuseum in Kiel, and Dekoloniale and SAVVY Contemporary in Berlin. In 2026, her commissioned performances, paintings and sculptures featured in group shows at KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin, Y Gallery in Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago, and Van Abbe Museum in the Netherlands.

An upcoming trilogy of performances along Bremen's Weser river, Berlin's Leipziger Straße and Rotterdam's Nieuwe Maas exploits the poetics of Carénage's swampy childhood home - a stilted house in the lagoon of a former sugar estate.

A citizen of Trinidad & Tobago, she is currently resident in London and Berlin.
