About Teri Henderson (Extended Bio)

Teri Henderson (b. Fort Worth, TX, 1990) is a Baltimore-based independent curator, Baltimore Beat's Arts and Culture Editor, and the author of Black Collagists: The Book. Henderson holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Texas Christian University. She formerly had a curatorial internship at Ghost Gallery in Seattle, Washington. During that time, she also helped launch the social media campaign for the non-profit access to justice platform PopUpJustice!

In 2019, Henderson co-founded WDLY, a nomadic, curatorial platform. Her work as co-director of WDLY addressed shrinking the gap between the spaces that contemporary artists of color inhabit and the resources of the power structures of the art world through the curation and artistic production of events. In 2020 Henderson started an Instagram account called @blackcollagists. This platform features the work of emerging and more established and well-known collage artists to raise awareness about the history of Black collage art. Black Collagists: The Book is a physical record of her research. Henderson focuses her work as a writer and curator on Black artists and creatives.

Henderson previously served as the Art Law Clinic Director for Maryland Volunteer Lawyers For The Arts and is currently on their Board of Directors. Her written work has recently been seen in: BmoreArt, All SHE Makes, Artforum, Justsmile Magazine, Kinfolk Travel, and the St. James Encyclopedia of Hip Hop Culture.
