Tahirah Rasheed aims to spearhead public-facing projects promoting diversity in the Neon art world. The focus is on amplifying the voices of black women through abstract and figurative neon pieces. These artworks will highlight the contributions and struggles of black women, whether alive or deceased, strategically placed in public spaces across Oakland. Addressing the underrepresentation of Black artists in the industry, Rasheed will be dedicated to working with glass tubes, primarily using neon and xenon to create impactful and meaningful installations.
