Chinelle Miller is a multidisciplinary artist and medical doctor working at the intersection of oncology, palliative care, and filmmaking at Hope Institute Hospital in Kingston, Jamaica.
Her passion for medicine lies in the opportunity to immerse herself in diverse narratives while aiding individuals on their unique health journeys. Filmmaking allows her to craft intricate worlds and narratives that explore the margins of society, and her broader artistic practice is a way for her to explore, process, and move through the world. Through her storytelling, she invites others into different perspectives and experiences, fostering empathy and understanding.
Her recent work spans photography, mixed media, and film across venues in Jamaica and the U.S. Exhibitions include Olympia Art Gallery and the National Gallery of Jamaica in Kingston, and the Thou Art Woman: RE/IMAGINE Queer Futures Exhibition in Plantation, Florida, featuring pieces such as "Don Dadda," "Laundry and Labrish," and "MissFit." Her films include the experimental short "Dead Weh," screened at the Shotlist Film Festival, and the documentary "Grassroots: Legacies of Jamaican Womxn's Artivism," shown in the Bob Marley Museum Independent Film Series, which traces the use of art in the Jamaican feminist community from the 1970s to the present.
She shares her work on Linktree.
