Family man, educator, and visual artist.
Sharif Muhammad’s artistic purpose is to represent, empower, uplift,
glorify and convey the emotions of Black and Brown people living in
America. He uses art as an instrument to highlight the beauty of Black and
Brown people and to unpack the spectrum of feelings derived from their
experiences. He believes that without the help of artistic expression, the
feelings of Black and Brown people are often flattened, downplayed,
archetyped, or simply limited by verbal or literal expression. Putting the
full Black and Brown experience on display serves as a reminder for all
that we are multidimensional, brilliant, invaluable human beings. It is the
emotional argument to dismantle all forms of racism.
