OAK is a polymath artist based in Chicago.

OAK's multi-disciplinary practice harnesses the power of language as a tool of resistance in response to repression and censorship through various mediums including sound, image, clay body, and works on paper.

By drawing on the tradition of Black Indigenous practices that use language to convey messages of hope, resistance, and resilience in the face of captivity, OAK's exploration of the uses of language within in the Black community serves as a form of fugitive repair, building an alternative archival history during cycles of censorship.
