Morel Doucet uses ceramics, illustrations, prints, and found objects to explore the effects of climate gentrification, migration, and displacement on Black communities in the diaspora. His work offers a contemporary perspective on the Black experience and highlights the impact of environmental decay caused by economic inequality, pollution, and policy. Born in Haiti, raised in Miami, he graduated from the New World School of the Arts with the Distinguished Dean’s Award for Ceramics. From there, he continued his education at the Maryland Institute College of Art, receiving his BFA in Ceramics with a minor in creative writing and a concentration in illustration. As an Arts Educator, Doucet is interested in immersing young audiences in personalized courses that instigate curiosity, sensory perception, and visual literacy.
