Domenic Toliver is an interdisciplinary artist and educator working across film, photography, performance, and socially engaged art. His practice centers on collaboration, curiosity, and community.
His practice emerges through dialogue, where responding to what people say becomes a creative act in itself. He approaches his work as an ongoing process of questioning rather than seeking fixed answers, embracing change as both material and method. For him, life itself is a form of art—fluid, participatory, and relational.
Currently pursuing an MFA in Art and Social Practice, he explores themes of presence, perception, and narrative. He is especially interested in how storytelling can serve as a powerful tool for connection and social change. As a facilitator, listener, and collaborator, he leads community-oriented projects that value lived experience, shared authorship, and meaningful exchange.
