Dennis RedMoon Darkeem

Dennis RedMoon Darkeem is an artist, educator, and community and cultural practitioner. As a mixed media and multidimensional artist, he makes experiential works that engage, enlighten and educate. Using installation, photography, sculpture, drawing, painting, sound and performance, Darkeem layers old and new experiences to form narratives that connect people, history, and the environment. His aesthetic is inspired by his Indigenous Yamassee Yat’siminoli and African-American heritage and he incorporates traditional craft customs, storytelling, history, and ancient connections to earth and water into his work. Ultimately, Darkeem strives to build community and create transformative spaces where diverse groups of people can become engaged and inspired through art and conversation.
