Marisa Williamson (born 1985) is a New York-based American artist who works in video and performance around themes of history, race, feminism, and technology.

Williamson is a graduate of CalArts (MFA 2013), Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture (2012), and Harvard University (BA 2008).

Williamson’s work revolves around questions of the African-American experience, female representation, and historical narratives.

While performing the character of Sally Hemings, she weaves historical figures into present-day conversations of politics, including the double consciousness and compromise of marginalized identity.
