Rashaad Newsome is a world-renowned multidisciplinary artist whose work blends multiple practices—including collage, sculpture, film, music, technology, and performance and crafts compositions that speak of and to Black and Queer culture. His latest filmic work, Black Magic documents a 2019 live performance that explores trans women and their contributions to the vogue fem lexicon and expands and activates it with the use of motion tracking software and visual effects. Clare Schweitzer spoke with Rashaad about the multi-layered journey of the current version of the work, which will screen in the Dancing Queens Program at the San Francisco Dance Film Festival.
