Artist Talk: Fugazi & Rashad Malik Davis

“Rashad Malik Davis and Fugazi come together for an Artist Talk that explores storytelling, identity, and the power of visual narrative.

Davis’s exhibition showcases his vibrant, mythology‑infused illustrations, sharing how fantasy, folklore, and Afrofuturism shape his world‑building and invite viewers into spaces of empowerment and imagination while exploring pre-colonial black african queer identity.

Fugazi’s exhibition is a raw and incisive exhibition examining illusion, instability, and the tension between what is real and what is performed, offering a counterpoint that pushes audiences to question perception itself.

Together, the artists open a dialogue about truth, transformation, and the role of art in navigating complex cultural landscapes. This conversation invites visitors to step inside two distinct creative universes and discover the connective threads between them.”
