Support RockIt Black
PROJECTS AND PROCESS
LAGUNA ART PRIZE. ROCKIT BLACK TO VENICE
Support RockIt Black in Venice, Italy. RockIt Black is a public artwork I created to aid in undoing the stigmatization designed into our conception of blackness by presenting black identities as divine and as a foundation to our shared humanity.
I won the top prize of the Laguna Art Prize in Venice! You can view a support letter from Laguna to learn more. RockIt Black is still in Venice, Italy. Stay tuned to find out what’s next for RB!

The Met Costume Institute recently announced that I will be doing the mannequin heads along with the theme of the Met Gala.

All else is still under wraps until the Gala.
fountain / trailhead
I recently won the Trailhead Monument Commission In Virginia. I’ve secured a Bronze Monument Commission to honor the first Africans arriving in captive to Virginia in 1619.
…while I’ll be creating a fountain this summer through Arts/Industry - John Michael Kohler Arts Center.
, linked to my residency at Kohler Artist Residency, where I aim to incorporate a fountain feature. Let’s work to water the Virginia monument.
Your support is crucial in helping me acquire and create these significant monumental projects!
