*Artist Profile
ONe Rad Latina is an auto-didactic, multi-disciplinary visual artist. Born in New York City and raised in the Manhattan neighborhood of Inwood and in the Dominican Republic to both Dominican and Puerto Rican parents. ONe works with different mediums and prides herself on her prolific line of artistic works and not being tied down to one specific visual artist's craft.
Her works range from unsanctioned public art made from found and repurposed materials in order to bring beauty back into the community, couture hand-painted and dressed mannequins on display at The Dylan hotel in midtown Manhattan to working with the New York Public Library for their NYPL Murals project, a residency at the Van Gogh Immersive experience in New York City and painting plywood murals in NYC's trendy SOHO district.
Joe's Barbershop Uptown Blockchain Collective is a space to exhibit, experiment, educate and experience the role of technology as it relates to public art. By reducing barriers to creating and participating in this emerging space, the collective seeks to expand access to cultural enrichment, provide the tools for local artists to thrive and maintain Harlem & Uptown Manhattan's status as a creative cultural capital.
