Rochelle Roget (b. 2003, Teaneck, NJ) is an interdisciplinary artist from Middletown, Connecticut that works to bridge themes of Black liberation, trauma, familial dynamics, Black femme sexual freedom, generational legacies, and Black girlhood into the mix of her art practice. She centering stories of the past while honoring her personal and communal experiences of the present moment.
This union of intersectional elements in Roget’s praxis act as a gateway for the world to continue to discover who she is, for her to constantly discover new parts of herself, and offers the artist a chance to remain curious about the livelihoods of those in the African diaspora.
She graduated from New York University in December 2025 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Studio Art. In 2027, she will earn her Master of Art Teaching degree in Art Education from Rhode Island School Design, while getting her Initial Teaching Certificate alongside the degree. While she is an interdisciplinary artist, she also has a passion for art education. She believes teaching and healing individuals through art is her calling. Being able to help others discover their voice, bridge ancestral heritage with stories of the past and present, develop more knowledge about the world around them, and improve their abilities and skills through art is what she reaches to do.
