Lewinale Havette deals primarily with aspects of identity, including gender and power dynamics, race, religion, and sexuality, in her work. As a West African woman, she finds it crucial to reposition Black female bodies away from the lens of patriarchal capitalism and as human beings capable of tenderness, power, and strength in contrast to fear, powerlessness, and exploitation. 

Havette’s artwork has been featured in exhibitions in museums and galleries in the United States and Europe, including Delphian Gallery in London; Launch F18 in New York City; and The ROOM Contemporary Art Space in Venice. In addition, she was represented by the Pérez Art Museum Miami at Art Basel Miami.
