Rhiannon is a San Francisco-based curator, artist, and educator, with 20+ years of experience across visual art, performance, video, sound, installations, and traditional arts. Rooted in intersectional identities, their work challenges Imperialist frameworks through ritual, experimentation, and a methodology she calls “productive discomfort.” Founder of Black & White Projects and co-director of Emerging Arts Professionals SFBA, Rhiannon is dedicated to building inclusive, creative communities and mentoring emerging artists. Rhiannon’s ongoing art series AfroFuture Past will be shown at The Art of Fashion which opens October 3rd at Levi's Plaza. Her work is an exploration of imagined histories of American Black Women through the examination and exploitation of new and old technologies, integrated with ancestral mediums and methodologies.
Organized by Professional Development Chair, Susan Kirshenbaum.
