Rainbow Serpent Collective

The Rainbow Serpent is a multidisciplinary collective based in Pittsburgh that advances Black LGBTQ culture through an exploration of emerging technologies, advanced healing protocols, African cosmologies, and multimedia art. They create and sponsor work in many media, including live performance, public installation, literature, photography, film, animation, painting, and sculpture.

While at The Yard they will present an in-progress showing of their new piece — The Four World Ages. This production depicts the four eras of human history from the perspective of Nigerian-Igbo tradition — the Age of Universal Oneness, the Age of Self-Awareness, the Age of Light, and our current Age of Suffering. The piece will feature four dancers who will be adorned with body paint as they enact this sweeping saga, and the performance will employ dynamic projections, innovative light design, and spatial augmented reality components.
