About Megan Hyde
Megan Hyde (b.1983) is a Boston-based interdisciplinary artist working in performance, video, sound, sculpture, and installation. Her practice explores memory, transformation, and desire, creating uncanny rituals and otherworldly spaces through a queer and feminist lens.
A new performance piece –– An Echo, A Haunting –– premieres Sunday June 14, 2026 in Boston.
Her work has been presented internationally, including solo exhibitions at Women's Work (Poughkeepsie, 2022) and Cool Change Contemporary (Perth, 2021), and group exhibitions at ChaShaMa Gallery (NYC), Ladies' Room (Los Angeles), Mosesian Center for the Arts (Watertown), and Mobius Artists Group (Boston), among others. She is a 2025 recipient of the City of Boston's Opportunity Fund and participant in the Mellon Foundation's Un-monument project.
Originally from western Massachusetts, Megan has lived in upstate New York, Chicago, and Perth, Australia before returning to Massachusetts. Her studio practice is informed by over 15 years of experience as an arts administrator, curator, and writer. She holds an MFA in Interdisciplinary Studio Art from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Tufts University, where she earned the Museum Council Sculpture Prize, and an MA in Art History, Theory, and Criticism from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
