Khari Turner (b. 1991, Milwaukee, WI) is an American artist based in New York, NY. For Turner, growing up in Milwaukee created a relationship to Black people, water, and his environment that plays a major role in his work now. His practice involves sourcing materials directly from different bodies of water including the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, his hometown’s Lake Michigan and the Milwaukee River. His aims are to eventually start work directly related to water health, environmental conservation, and bringing art to low-income neighbourhoods.
