Robin M. Chandler is an elder, a professional artist, a social scientist, and Professor Emeritus at Northeastern University. As an artist, she has been working in papermaking, collage, digital media, and poetry since 1974.

She is the author of over 100 books, journal articles, and solo, group, and three-person exhibitions.
In her exhibition, Medicine JOY! Re-Writing Mixed Identity, Chandler uses a multidisciplinary approach to reflect on lived histories among diverse global communities (especially Brazil and South Africa). Additionally, she delves into the experience of being a person of color raised in Cambridge in the 1950s.
In partnership with Bunker Hill Community College, there will be open public discussions and a film on mixedness by award-winning filmmaker Oldren Romero examining the thematic elements surrounding Chandler’s work and the experiences of mixed-race identities in the City of Cambridge in the 21st century.
