Malcolm Peacock is an American multidisciplinary artist. Working across performance, sculpture, and time-based media, his practice explores the emotional and psychic spaces of Black folks by considering the intricacies of intimacy and intentional presence. Through a methodology he describes as “slow choreo,” Peacock proposes a synchronized deceleration of mind and body in order to decouple the value of life from labor productivity while heightening sensory awareness of one’s surroundings. By prioritizing the “untouchable” yet deeply felt remnants of human connection, his work fosters the development of the self in relation to others within both natural and built environments. Peacock has exhibited at the Whitney Biennial (Whitney Museum of American Art, New York), MoMA PS1 (Queens), Carnegie Museum of Art (Pittsburgh), Artists Space (New York), and Baltimore Museum of Art.

The Northside Trap Run is St. Louis’ hip-hop themed 5K walk/run & festival that empowers North St. Louis neighborhoods and unifies grassroots, civic, educational, commercial and residential efforts to bridge the city’s north-south divide.
