Rhythmix Cultural Works

Artists of the African Diaspora @ K Gallery/Rhythmix Cultural Works features artists from various backgrounds including Nigerian American Victoria Bankole, Trinidad native, Stacy Mootoo and Panama native, Xioneda Ruiz. This eclectic mix of diasporic cultures and techniques embodies the very essence of Art of the African Diaspora’s mission and program.
In this satellite exhibit, a taste of various mediums and techniques can be experienced by 9 local artists: Eric Murphy (Curator), Victoria Bankole, Stacy Mootoo, Xioneda Ruiz, TheArthur Wright, Chamia LaRae, Malcolm Ryder, and Val Kai.
Stacy Mootoo’s paper quilted sculptural work consists of very intricate single line by line multi-color paper cut motifs in the background forming the Pan African colors beyond iconic black figures like Malcolm X. TheArthur Wright presents an invented medium of bleach on black paper in pointillism style. Chamia LaRae and curator, Eric Murphy, present work in mixed media, Xioneida Ruiz offers beautiful paintings, and Victoria Bankole, Val Kai, and Malcolm Ryder contribute their expertise in photography.
