Dominick Rabrun

Dominick Rabrun (he/him) is a multimedia artist, writer, and game developer whose work merges technology, storytelling, and music into a cohesive creative system. Guided by his first-generation Haitian-American heritage, conservative Christian upbringing, and 15 years of experience in I.T., Rabrun has developed a philosophy called “Vèvè-Punk,” blending Haitian Vodou symbolism with futuristic Afro-Caribbean themes. His practice explores the fragmented parts of his worldview and invites audiences to investigate their own intersecting identities. In 2020, Dominick’s video piece, Dr. LaSalle, The Spider Queen, and Me, earned first prize in a juried exhibition at the Phillips Collection. He was a 2022 fellow with Black Public Media, which is now executive producing his forthcoming video game, Ki Es Ou Ye?—inspired by the Haitian Revolution. He lives and works in Hyattsville, MD.
