Dudley Alexis

An independent filmmaker and visual artist, Dudley Alexis is both a cultural anthropologist and historian who sees his world through unique multicultural eyes. His mission is to uncover hidden meaning in overlooked lives, finding true treasure in their stories.

Born in Haiti, Alexis immigrated to the United States in his teens, attending high school and college in Miami where he began studying fine art. His body of work includes a vast number of short documentaries including stories about the First Nation Micousukee Tribe of Florida, made while employed by Micousukee Magazine. He went on to write, film, direct and edit his first full length documentary, ‘Liberty in a Soup’ completed in 2016. His work on the Arthur McDuffie story began almost immediately after, but not at the exclusion of creating and exhibiting his fine art and was most recently selected and featured in the exhibition ‘Kingdom of This World, Reimagined’, curated by noted artist Edouard Duval Carrié, during Miami’s 2019 Art Week as part of the prestigious Art Basel festivities.

Alexis continues to master multiple mediums, using his curiosity and insight to raise awareness and inspire societal change on global issues.
