Carmen Ribaudo

Carmen Ribaudo makes site-responsive artwork in collaboration with the St. Louis landscape shaped by infrastructure. She makes observational clay reliefs, sand animation, and graphite drawings to look closely at details in the urban periphery.

Ribaudo graduated from WashU’s MFA in Visual Arts program in 2025 and is the 2025-26 Post-MFA Fellow, as well as a lecturer in the school. Upon graduation, she was given the St. Louis Partnership Award. Ribaudo was project coordinator for Counterpublic 2023, where she managed the triennial’s public programming throughout the city. She co-organized and co-curated “Reverb,” a curatorial project within a WWII-era concrete bunker at WashU’s Tyson Research Center. She has been a resident artist with Ellis-Beauregard in Rockland, Maine, a Creative Fellow at the Providence Public Library, a member-artist at Queer.Archive.Work in Providence, Rhode Island, and a participant of Trojan Horse Summer School in Finland. Ribaudo’s artwork has been shown in St. Louis, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Maine.
