CREATIVE PRACTICE

Richael’s interdisciplinary creative practice makes evocative healing ritual radically accessible.

As a producer and performance artist, they enjoy playful experimentation with the themes of embodiment, folklore, liberatory visions, and radical love. Richael’s primary creative home is RiverSheCollective Arts stewarded by Nicole Oxendine; they are also a long-time collaborator with thickpress publishing practice.
