Celeste Shimoura Goedert is an emerging artist who grew up on unceded Anishinaabe land colonially known as Southeast Michigan. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Social Theory & Practice from the University of Michigan in 2017 and a Masters in Art & Ecology from the Burren College of Art in 2025. Her work has appeared in various community and public art projects in Detroit, Ann Arbor, Los Angeles, and County Clare, Ireland.

Situating her work in printmaking and sculptural practices, she explores the intersections of grief, inherited trauma, cultural amnesia, and resistance to the pervasive forces of capitalism and consumerism. Celeste sees her practice as a tactile meditation on the ways in which communities navigate cultural amnesia and the tension between remembrance and disappearance.

Through her practice, she seeks to evoke both a reverence for grief rituals and a critical reflection on the systems that shape our understanding of self and belonging.
