RAGGA NYC is a hybrid of ideas that began as late night conversations over familial island roots, current social politics, empanadas vs. beef patties, pum pum shorts, scamming and a longing for an authentic Dancehall party that also provides a safe space for queer Caribbeans and their kin. A platform founded by Christopher Udemezue (Neon Christina), RAGGA NYC connects a growing community of queer Caribbean artists and allies working across a wide range of disciplines—including visual art, fashion, poetry and more—to explore how race, sexuality, gender, heritage, and history inform their work and their lives. RAGGA fosters a network and an extended family that make space for solidarity, celebration, and expression, with deep commitments to education and grassroots organizing. RAGGA NYC: all things cunt and Caribbean. #BIGUPUNNOSELF -
