⨠Hello, friendsânew and old! â¨
Iâm Rashad Ali Muhammad, a queer interdisciplinary artist of the African diaspora. As a creative powerhouse fueled by curiosity, ancestral memory, and radical imagination, my work flows across mixed media collage, installation, video, sound, and even fashionârooted in transformation, healing, and connection.
Through my practice, I dismantle and reassemble materials, histories, and ways of seeing. Everyday remnantsâsilk flower petals, discarded textiles, fragments of the pastâbecome luminous forms that honor ancestral traditions of resourcefulness while challenging binaries and sparking dialogue. Each piece I create is a sanctuary, inviting wonder and deeper connections to ourselves and the world around us.
Iâm so glad youâre here to witness this journey as I continue exploring new mediums, reimagining old narratives, and embracing what it means to exist authentically. Stick aroundâŚthereâs so much more to come. â¨â¨

Coordinated a site visit around NY Art Week and caught @154artfair and @newartdealers fairs. Missed @friezeofficial but great time overall! Much needed break in my routine and fuel in the inspo bucket to keep going. The connections and relationship building was also in full effectâŚof course! Got plenty to keep me focused and busy.
Iâve been sitting with this story for a long time. Now Iâm ready to share it.
Finding the Light: An Interdisciplinary Art and Oral History Project on the Legacy of HIV/AIDS is here. Itâs a series of real, unfiltered conversations with people whose lives have been shaped by HIV/AIDS. I created it because I believe everyone knows someone living with or lost to this epidemic, even if they donât realize it yet.
Iâm also the first interview.
Iâve been positive since 2011. I talk about the day I found out, the years after, what dating looked like, why I didnât tell my parents for over a decade, and why I now consider my diagnosis one of the best things that ever happened to me.
Life can still be grand. This is me proving it.

The drag scene is definitely part of where I learned to really live authentically everyday and give the people all this EXTRAVAGANZA!
Life is my runwayâŚpull up a chair â¨â¨â¨
Pieces from my early days (2015-17)! Back when I was primarily painting.
Eventually going to get all my older work from my parents house and do an archive sale before I cut them up and incorporate them into new work.
Stay tuned.
