Shayla Marshall

Shayla Marshall was born in 1999 in Miami, Florida, and is currently based between Miami and London, where she has been pursuing a Master’s degree in Contemporary Art Practice at the Royal College of Art, developing a mixed-media, world-building practice grounded in Black diasporic experience.

Marshall’s practice combines photography, installation, and sculptural elements, often using both historic and contemporary photographic techniques to challenge linear histories and reframe Black life. Her work draws on Miami’s cultural landscape and the everyday spaces of Black life, extending these investigations into her graduate projects and exhibitions across the UK and the US.
