New York artist Rashaad Newsome creates multi-media works that are part video, part performance art and part music production. “Swag” as the name suggests is a video/film work incorporating elements of hip-hop music and culture, juxtaposing these references against those from heraldry and other European sources. Newsome’s work was highlighted at the Powerhouse in the South Main Arts District of Memphis during the Live From Memphis Video Showcase, March 1, 2012
