Oxossii is a visual artist whose work seeks to honor Black presence, land spatial practices, and modes of Black abstraction through space, sound, and materials. 

With works that activates the senses, the artist seeks to renew our relationship to both material and immaterial systems. 

Drawing from performance, ensemble dance and music, Oxossii’s multifaceted practice forms an urban score, asking questions about authorship, presence, power, and public and private space.  

Oxossii’s work has been featured at the SFMOMA in a solo exhibition entitled Continuum, Oakland Museum of California, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, Contemporary Jewish Museum, the Berkeley Art Museum. Oxossii is a recipient of the SFMOMA SECA Award, a Public Art Award by the City of Oakland and a YBCA 10 Artist Award.
