As a mixed-blood African American and Native American artist living in the south Bronx, Dennis Redmoon Darkeem offers a voice for his communities. Working across mediums, his work evokes a historical memory and questions the status quo, often incorporating symbolism and a craftwork aesthetic to tie traditional knowledge to the contemporary. His work crosses boundaries of culture, identity, and perception of self and strives to be the voice for the unheard. His most recent body of work, “Standing on Shaky Ground" speaks to shared Native and Black struggles. His work has been shown at Bronx Arts Space, Bronx Museum of the Arts, Brooklyn Museum of the Arts, The Drawing Center, Wave Hill, BAAD, Longwood Gallery, Latchkey Gallery, the Lodge Gallery as well as several mixed-media performances at The Point’s CDC space.
