Rest Craft Conjure, a fellowship for artists, researchers, and cultural bearers, running June 14 through December 13, 2026. |

“A meditation on black queer life in the United States, dealing with themes of healing and survival, the work evolved along with Kosoko's increasingly international career, which has recently taken him to Germany, South Africa, Sweden and England for residencies and teaching engagements.”

- SIOBHAN BURKE, NEW YORK TIMES

Rest Craft Conjure Fellowship

A person lounging on a low platform with cushions in a bright room with large windows and a decorative rug.

A care rooted fellowship supporting artists, researchers, and cultural bearers in slow inquiry, ethical practice, and non extractive timelines. RCC offers space, resources, and collective support for those building work shaped by rest, intention, and lived experience.

Quantum Rest

helps you regulate, reset, and re-enter your creative life with care. Inside the members area, you will find a guided session, reflection prompts, and a simple ritual you can pair with the Quantum Rest Candle. Use it before rehearsal, after performances, or anytime you need to begin again.

What We Do

DESIGN & CURATORIAL PROJECTS

Silhouette of a person standing at an entrance with a crumpled metallic or reflective background, illuminated by vertical light strips on each side.

My design and curatorial practice shapes immersive performance environments where choreography, sound, sculpture, and archival media converge. I craft ritualized spaces that center Black and queer memory, transforming sites of presentation into living ecosystems of encounter, reflection, and radical imagination.

COLLECTIVE RESTSHOPS & RETREATS

A black and white photo of a man with a beard and short hair, wearing a beanie hat, scarf, and casual clothes, standing at a microphone on stage with a music stand in front of him. There is a glass of water on a small table to his left.

Transformative, research-driven experiences that restore capacity and reframe artmaking as public action. I center three key elements in educational offerings: harm reduction, dramaturgies of care, and critical rest practice.

MAPPING THE AFTERLIVES: ARCHIVING & DIGITAL PRESERVATION SUPPORT

A person with face paint and metallic clothing is lying down in a space with reflective foil material, looking contemplative.

Mapping the Afterlives is both a digital toolkit and a philosophy of care designed to help artists and cultural workers reclaim their narratives through intentional acts of preservation. These self guided sessions emerges from a recognition that many of our creative lineages have been fragmented, lost, or rendered illegible by institutional neglect. Yet within those absences lies a radical opportunity to rebuild, to remember otherwise, and to map the unseen continuities that shape our collective imagination.

CREATIVE COACHING & ACADEMIC ADVISING

Virtual and In-person strategic sessions to support artists, students, and entrepreneurs shape and fulfill their vision. It’s a safe container where we can radically share and experience deep paradigm shifts and mindset techniques to thrive within our creative work and lives.
