emet ezell (b. 1995, Texas, USA) is a visual artist and writer based in Berlin, Germany. Trained under Polish typographer Robert Sawa and fiber artist Sylwia Woźniak-Sęczawa, ezell remains committed to handmade paper and print. Their work explores themes of devotion, dispossession, ruin, and return.
Winner of the 2021 Gloria E. Anzaldúa Poetry Prize, ezell’s writing has been featured in The American Poetry Review, Los Angeles Review of Books, Poetry Daily, and Hand Papermaking Magazine, among other arts-based publications. Their poems have been translated into Latvian, German, Hebrew, and Polish, and their solo-exhibition, Destruction Is and Is Not Forever, debuted last summer in Latvia.
Most recently, ezell performed in the 61st Venice Beinnale as part of the project “Bound with the Living,” curated by Koyo Kouoh for the international exhibition In Minor Keys. They do not use social media; brief updates can be found on their newsletter. They are currently an artist fellow in the 2026 New Jewish Culture Fellowship.
