The Rainbow Serpent Collective is a Black, queer multi-media art and production collaborative in Pittsburgh, PA. The foundation of their work is the reclamation, modernization, and extension of traditional African knowledge systems, particularly from ancient Egyptian and West African (Yoruba, Dogon, Dagara, and Igbo) contexts.

Rainbow Serpent Collective will come to The Yard for a creation residency and in-progress showing of their work The Four World Ages, a piece which will feature eight dancers whose bodies will be adorned with fluorescent paints and illuminated by ultraviolet light as they enact the saga of human development outlined by Igbo mythology.
