Milford Graves (1941–2021, lived and worked in South Jamaica, Queens)
Milford Graves was a visual artist, drummer, healer, computer programmer, martial artist, and professor of music. His spirit defined the sounds of free jazz, a musical style that became a symbol of Black empowerment. Graves’ artworks combine the various elements of his genre-bending practice: sculptures, drawings and paintings of energy flows connecting body and mind, often incorporating musical instruments and anatomical studies. He is the subject of a traveling museum retrospective The Mind-Body Deal, which has been presented at ICA Philadelphia, Artists Space and ICA Los Angeles.
