Malcolm Peacock

b. 1994, Raleigh, North Carolina
lives in New Orleans

Malcolm Peacock earned a BFA from Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, in 2016, and an MFA from Rutgers University, New Jersey, in 2019. He is a multidisciplinary artist whose participatory and experiential practice examines issues of race, queer identity, sex, and history through his experiences with death and his family narratives. His work  explores social dynamics between black people, with a particular interest in intimacy, power, heartbreak, and loss. His artist-led walks are part performance, part time travel as he leads participants through historical, spatial, and temporal narratives of places of personal and cultural import. Peacock’s work has been shown at the Cindy Rucker Gallery, New York, and Terrault Contemporary, Baltimore, among other venues.
