Umar Rashid (Frohawk Two Feathers): Culinarialism

Umar Rashid, We up. We down. The Belhaven Invitational Basketball tournament and cook out ends in defeat for the Irish indentures at the hands of Supreme Team Tobacco. The historical origin of the half smoke, 2021. Acrylic & spray paint on canvas 36 x 36 in (91.44 x 91.44 cm)

Presented in a solo exhibition on view September 24 – November 21, the focus of Rashid’s residency has been producing the latest installment of his massive fictional universe 18 years in the making: “an alternative, feudal version of America that has nobility and titles.” Within this world, Rashid whimsically imagines the cultural intricacies of Colonial Era class dynamics through cross-generational iconography, maps, cosmological diagrams, Afrofuturistic sensibilities, and pop culture references from his upbringing, such as the Golden Age of hip hop.
