‘Mapping constellations of  black sentiment, and radical pleasure that flood the sky of our diasporic experience.’ 

Namir Fearce is a North Minneapolis-born interdisciplinary folk artist and cultural worker. His studio practice engages experimental film, assemblage, and music under the moniker Blu Bone. Fearce is informed by a constellation of Black Mississippian sites of memory that weave complex emo-political worldscapes in which Black futurity and freedom are conjured. Utilizing the language, fashioning, and tradition of the trickster deity In his work he engages in relationships across species, and land to develop true kinship and access a fuller understanding. He creates sites of ritual, and ceremony visually, sonically, and somatically by embodying and reflecting these kin species, and phenomena of nature where this cross-communication, reverberation, and feedback can loop to create portals for a collective imagination. 

Fearce holds a BFA in Studio Art with a concentration in Film and sculpture from the University of Illinois at Chicago, a Walker Arts fellow 2021, a Black Harvest Film Festival nominated Director 2023, and founder of the Hi Cotton Experience.
