A Los Angeles native working in New York City, Biggers creates artworks that integrate film, video, installation, sculpture, original music and performance. Intentionally merging the languages of hip-hop, Buddhism, politics, identity and art history to provide new perspectives and associations for established symbols, Biggers’ multi-disciplinary formal process and syncretic creative approach results in works that are aesthetically pleasing and conceptually rigorous. His Kansas City project is a site-specific performance environment for his collaborative Afro-futurist musical projects.
