Rashaad Newsome (1979- ) is a Black, Queer, American artist who blends varying dynamic artmaking practices such as collage, sculpture, video, music, artificial intelligence, and performance. Newsome’s practice draws from diasporic traditions of improvisation to produce counter-hegemonic work that is both a social practice and an abstraction of ideas. Newsome holds a 2023 Doctoral degree in Fine Arts from the University of Connecticut and a 2001 BFA in Art History from Tulane University. His work is exhibited worldwide in numerous public and private collections.
Additional residency details with event dates and times will be announced in early 2025.
