Joanna Prescod is a museum and arts professional whose work bridges community storytelling, cultural policy, and the politics of dress. Her work focuses on art, archives, and embodied memory.

Joanna earned graduate degrees in Humanities and Culture & Expression from York University, and holds additional certifications in Fashion Arts, Costume Studies and Cultural Management.

She is best known for her interdisciplinary work at the intersection of fashion, Black aesthetics, and cultural memory, where she explores how garments perform across social, institutional, and digital spaces. Her ongoing project, Hypervisuality, traces the politics of dress and embodiment, particularly among racialized folk navigating visibility and erasure.

Joanna has spoken about her work at cultural institutions and conferences and is regularly invited to guest teach, facilitate, and consult on fashion, and placemaking. She is currently developing a body of work that explores fashion as memory, method, and material resistance.
