NOTES:

Born in Philadelphia, in 1989, Sedrick Chisom constructs apocalyptic fantasies that confront and dismantle racial origin myths, becoming the mythmaker that reclaims narrative power to envision pro-Black worlds, and reimagine the structures of natural and social order to create new possibilities.

His work is included in the collections of the Studio Museum in Harlem, New York; Aïshti Foundation, Beirut, Lebanon; Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, Netherlands; The Hessel Collection, Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson, New York; and Yuz Museum, Shanghai, China.
