Kezia Harrell produces flamboyant multidisciplinary works to re-appropriate the narrative of Black American identity in history, myth, and pop culture. Harrell conjures a space that allows a formation of Black identity outside of this world’s historical burden of intergenerational trauma. By situating her surreal apparitions in this realm, Harrell effectively subverts the discourse of the white lens and its characterised rendering of the Black subject. Harrell graduated from the San Francisco Art Institute in 2017 where she earned her BFA in Painting. Harrell’s practice engages with a diverse array of media including oil paintings, drawings, sculpture, and comic books.
