Scheherazade Washington Parrish is a boundary-pushing interdisciplinary artist and creator of Tools of Redaction. This immersive multimedia installation series delves into the intricate interplay of language and context. Her artistic journey intertwines poetry, visual art, and performance, crafting narratives that fearlessly challenge the established trajectory of Western history. Parrish’s compelling vision reimagines historical accounts, placing women, particularly Black women, at their core.
Parrish’s work has graced the expansive canvas of large-scale murals, Detroit Public Television, and been displayed in galleries including the Detroit Artist Market and Womxnhouse Detroit. Her talents have also been published with notable features in Driftwood 9, Detroit Metro Times, and Obsidian Literature and Arts in the African Diaspora. A 2023 Modern Ancient Brown fellow, Parrish lives and works in Detroit, with her son.
