Rashaad Newsome draws from diasporic traditions of improvisation, advertising and the internet, art history, and Black and queer culture to produce counter-hegemonic work that walks the tightrope between creative computing, social practice, abstraction, and intersectionality. Collage acts as a theoretical, conceptual, and technical method to construct a new cultural framework of power that celebrates Black contributions to the art canon and creates innovative and inclusive forms of culture and media.
