Rashida Bumbray is an accomplished performance artist, choreographer, and curator whose artistic practice draws from traditional African American vernacular and folk forms, including ring shouts, hoofing, and blues improvisation. Like Zora Neale Hurston and Katherine Dunham, Bumbray brings a curatorial/ethnographic lens to her work. Bumbray collaborates with musicians and visual artists; she is in an ongoing collaboration with Simone Leigh that is inspired by Isamu Noguchi and Martha Graham’s collaborative efforts.
