Lisa Alembik is an artist, educator, and curator. She is an Associate Professor at Perimeter College of Georgia State University, where since 2013 she has taught the foundations of art. A native Atlantan, Alembik has a BA in Studio Art and Art History from George Washington University and a MFA from Georgia State University.

Alembik organized Douglas Pierre Baulos’ “Night’s Hand on your Shoulder” at the Swan Coach House Gallery, August 2022. She co-curated “_____ The World” with the artist, curator, and educator Martha Whittington at Gallery 378 in Atlanta, GA in June of 2022. In 2019, she curated “On Singing the Body Formless and Electric” at Whitespace Gallery in Atlanta and “Ebb & Flow, Bloom & Fade” at The Bascom Center for the Visual Arts, Highlands, NC.

Alembik served as Gallery Director of Agnes Scott College for over a decade. There she organized exhibitions such as “Blackbird on your Shoulder: stories and other truths from the South,” 2006 and “This Beautiful Tangle,” 2016.

Alembik’s own artwork centers on corporeality and its relationship with cultural and political ideas of nature and home. She considers the suffering of those torn and traumatized through forced diaspora and the atrocities of current events and history—especially those perpetrated against people who identify as women. Alembik’s drawings, paintings, and installations have been exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia, the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center, City College Art Gallery in San Francisco, CA, and the Hyde Gallery at Memphis College of Art, TN among other venues.
