Using the equalizing force of sampling, Newsome crafts compositions that walk the tightrope between intersectionality, social practice, and abstraction, and blend formal composition practices with elements of black sub- and pop-culture to create something wholly contemporary and new.

Newsome has exhibited and performed in galleries, museums, institutions, and festivals throughout the world, including The Studio Museum in Harlem (NYC), The National Museum of African American History and Culture (DC), The Whitney Museum (NYC), Brooklyn Museum (NYC), MoMAPS1 (NYC), SFMOMA (CA), New Orleans Museum of Art (LA), Centre Georges Pompidou (Paris, France), The Garage Center for Contemporary Culture (Moscow, Russia), and MUSA (Vienna, Austria).
