Shaunté Glover is a visual storyteller and interdisciplinary artist based in Phoenix, Arizona. Her work explores Black narratives through sculpture, installation, photography, and video, centering themes of memory, identity, queerness, and representation.

Basketball appears throughout her practice — not only as subject, but as material and metaphor. Reclaimed objects like worn sneakers, jerseys, and basketballs are used to hold personal and cultural memory, often drawing from her own experiences growing up.

Glover was selected for the Arizona Biennial 2024 at the Tucson Museum of Art, where she was awarded the 2024 Contemporary Art Society Award of Excellence. In 2025, her work was featured in both Southwest Contemporary and Hayden’s Ferry Review. She is also a recipient of the 2024 Artist to Work grant from the Phoenix Office of Arts and Culture.

Her practice is driven by a desire to honor what’s been overlooked, to build presence where absence once was, and to document what persists — the soft, the joyful, the Black, the queer.
