Sadie Barnette (b. 1984, Oakland, California) is a multimedia artist whose work explores family history, Black life, political power and celebration. Working across drawing, photography, sculpture and installation, she transforms personal and archival materials through a distinctive visual language of pink, glitter, rhinestones and holographic surfaces. Barnette’s ongoing FBI Project transforms surveillance files compiled on her father, Black Panther Rodney Barnette, countering government documentation with acts of remembrance and reclamation. More recent projects extend this exploration of family history toward celebration and collective possibility. The New Eagle Creek Saloon reimagines her father’s San Francisco bar—the city’s first Black-owned gay bar—as an immersive space honoring Black queer community. Her newest drawings and installations continue to combine family archives, text and dazzling surfaces to explore memory, freedom and imagined futures. Barnette earned her B.F.A. from CalArts and M.F.A. from UC San Diego. Her work has been exhibited at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Walker Art Center. Her first solo museum exhibition was at the Manetti Shrem Museum.
