Genius on Display: Shawna X

Genius on Display returns with the one and only Shawna X. Genius on Display is a platform for spotlighting the expertise of racialized artists and designers within the context of Poster House’s exhibitions and permanent collection. Join us as Shawna X shares her vibrant, dreamy, colorful artwork against the backdrop of our current exhibition “Peter Max: Cosmic Advertising”. 

Shawna X is a visual artist based in New York City, known for her vibrant and graphical image-making. Her works are manifestations in the discovery of her journey in cultural identity, motherhood, and rekindling connection between mind and body. Currently, she is exploring the synchronicity between visceral and emotional explorations via traditional and AI expressions. 

This program series is sponsored by CMYK Council, Poster House’s working advisory board of BIPOC creatives, designers, educators, and museum staff.
