Rikkí Wright
Rikkí Wright (b. 1990, AL) lives and works in Los Angeles, CA. As a photographer, filmmaker, and multi-disciplinary artist, Wright explores notions of Blackness, femininity, beauty, and community. Her photos are finished with a distinctive warm color grade—a nod to the sepia tones of the colors she admired in her grandmother’s house growing up, and an outward manifestation of the warmth she feels toward her subjects. Rikkí has presented her films and artworks in Los Angeles, Atlanta, New York, Philadelphia, and London, among other cities.
