Newsome and Clarke-Brown discuss the artist’s new animated video work, Hands Performance, commissioned by Somerset House. Together, they reflect on how the film platforms the Deaf and hard-of-hearing community while considering the limits of language and how AI informs his practice.
Fact’s Fall/Winter ’22 issue features a 24-page spread of newly commissioned work by Rashaad Newsome consisting of images of new collages, sculpture, photography, and CGI. Collectively the images touch on long-standing themes in Newsome’s work, such as the importance of community for Black Queer folks, the relationship between Blacks and abstraction, and Black people and technology(past, present, and speculative future). To support him in this endeavor, Newsome sent his work to friends and colleagues and asked them to respond with a quote, text, or poem, resulting in a collection of innovative images and thoughtful writings.
