MoonHead is an Indigenous Philadelphia based visual / performance artist who draws the majority of his inspiration from nature as well as the need to speak to the subconscious mind in re-routing to self.
Most of Chiefs work has been geared towards the restorative work. Restoring parts of history while also being able to tell a story over his canvas. His art is created with the purpose to serve as a reflection to the viewer.
About d’griot community gallery: @dgriot.philly
Named in honor of African storytellers and urban slang, we are a community gallery. A space of story. Stories of our ancestors, the magic in the present, and our intent for the future. We exist to uplift the black, brown, and local community through being a platform for folk artists & local businesses, hosting inspiring events, offering space rentals and catering of nutrient dense food, and soon a Fly High Tea.
We are intentional about creating authentic beautiful spaces to share stories, activate our creativity, educate one another, map toward our goals, support one another to see the beauty in ourselves and fly.
