Monét Noelle Marshall

Durham-based multidisciplinary artist Monét Noelle Marshall has been creating worlds and gracing stages since 1999. A theatre kid at heart, Monèt deems her work “rehearsal for the relationship” and uses a multidisciplinary approach to invite people into a deeper sense of belonging—with themselves, each other, and the planet. Through short films that affirm and challenge, community pop-ups that center joy, and interactive, immersive performance pieces that shift audiences to witnesses, Monèt’s work stretches the bounds of how art can create, shape, and impact community.

Her work has been featured at St. Ann’s Warehouse, the Nuyorican Poets Cafe, Open Eye Figure Theatre, Northstar Church of the Arts, and Mordecai Historic Park. Most recently, she has collaborated with the African American Policy Forum on Gucci’s Chime for Change zine, Scalawag magazine, the NC Museum of Art, Historic Stagville, the City of Raleigh, and Columbia University. She has received funding from the NC Arts Council, the Durham Arts Council, Black Spatial Relics, the Black on Black Project, and Manbites Dog Theater. Her play Raisonneur was produced by Wayne State University in 2022, and she won the Del Shores Foundation competition for Best Screenplay for Knead, a screenplay she co-wrote.
