Dogon Krigga is a Columbia, South Carolina based multi-disciplinary artist. Their interests in journalism and music production brought them into community with musicians for whom Dogon began creating commissioned works of digital collage. Dogon Krigga received early creative mentorship and influence from visual artist Tom Feelings and Walter Rutledge, a NY-based choreographer and multidisciplinary artist who was taught by Alvin Ailey and Romare Bearden. 

Krigga evolved their practice from digital art to include hand-cut paper collage and assemblage with printed and cut vinyl on acrylic and metal, as well as installations. These artworks are an exploration and preservation of Queer, Black culture through a Surrealist perspective.
