By Thom Wheeler Castillo

Thom Wheeler Castillo lives and works in Miami. He graduated from Pacific Northwest College of Art with a degree in Intermedia. Interested in landscape, environmentalism, and ecosystems, he works from an interdisciplinary approach, entwining art history, earth science, Queer politics, and anthropology.

In Miami, he participated in the inaugural Commuter Biennial, supplanting advertisements on public buses with a series of handmade, editioned prints. Wheeler Castillo produces works through experimentation and partnership that nurture his studio practice. He and Emile Milgrim founded Archival Feedback to engage in various critical dialogues of the moment, approaching the environment as a field studio and producing sound works in a wide range of mediums. Since 2021, he's embarked on cultural missions throughout the Caribbean region, working with curator Rosie Gordon-Wallace and the Diaspora Vibe Cultural Arts Incubator (DVCAI) to participate in international cultural exchanges. He is currently an Artist-In-Residence Studio Fellow with DVCAI and a 2023 recipient of DVCAI’s Catalyst award. He works throughout the region as an educator with institutions including Perez Art Museum Miami, O, Miami Poetry Festival, HistoryMiami, A.I.R.I.E. (Artist in Residence in the Everglades), Rubell Museum, and Miami Design District.
