About

Vagner Mendonça-Whitehead is an artist, educator, and academic leader. His art practice encompasses traditional and newer media, community projects, and creative writing that present accidental and forced intersections of personal experiences, histories, current events, geo-locations, languages, and found artifacts.

Much like art and teaching approach, Vagner views leadership as an exchange, where, through group facilitations, mutual learning is obtained. Through this approach Vagner also aims to empower traditionally underrepresented students and scholars in higher education in the visual arts.
