About

Dimitry Saïd Chamy is a transdisciplinary artist, designer, and cultural producer. He works with hybrid generative systems using collaboration, creativity, and play to evoke what is lost, examine the present, and explore the possible—grounded in his diasporic journey as a queer Haitian-Lebanese immigrant and his love of nature, science, and storytelling.

Chamy has been awarded grants from Miami-Dade County, received an Oolite Arts Creator award, and exhibited at Locust Projects in Miami, where he was also awarded a teaching residency. He’s shown at Beijing Design Week, New York Fashion Week, the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco, and in film festivals globally. In 2022, he was an assistant curator and producer of The BluPrnt Show, curated by Robert Chambers with 395 artists spanning a 120+ year cross-section of Miami art, which The New York Times featured as expressive of the city’s historical significance as a global art center.

Chamy holds an MFA from Yale in graphic design and has taught at six universities and served as an Erasmus+ Scholar and Honorary Chair at the Art Academy, Riga, Latvia. He is a Co-Founder, Research Associate, and Resident Artist and Designer at the Ratcliffe Art & Design Incubator at Florida International University in Miami, Florida, where he bases his studio.
