Alim Ringgold is an interdisciplinary artist engaging primarily with ceramic sculpture and sound. They use these mediums as tools for developing a language of personal symbolism and spirituality informed by a desire to intermingle and dissolve the boundaries between our physical, spiritual, and emotional realities. Most recently performing and showing work under the moniker Neolith, Alim utilizes noise, performance, and sculptural installation to bring forth a disruptive wisdom embedded in the metaphors of stone and the earth's many magical and transformative geologic processes.
As of October 2023 Alim has been collaborating with artist Ava Huff (Orchid Tooth) on an experimental sound and performance project entitled Stimpak Bath
Alim Ringgold (b. 1999) lives and works in Portland, OR
