We are thrilled to launch our Featured Artist program on our brand new gallery wall in the bar/cafe! Every few months, we will be selecting a new artist to feature their work at Riffraff. All the art will be for sale as well!
Current featured artist:
Xander Nzinga
Nzinga is a weaver, poet, & abolitionist currently exploring various expressions of Afro-Futurist liberation while continuously honoring those who came before us, the violence imposed upon them, and the knowledge embedded within our souls. Their praxis examines the interwoven connections between the natural world, ancestry, and reclamation. Through their weavings they embody what it means to slow down, listen, and become a conduit in the ritual of co-creation with other materials; knowing that all things have wisdom to offer.
