Daniel Callahan

Daniel Callahan is a multimedia artist and designer living in Roxbury MA.  His work merges various disciplines including but not limited to music, video, painting, drawing, collage, animation, photography, and performance to create immersive experiences that seek to reveal the inner humanity that links us to each other and our world.

​​His current work centers on the MassQ; a ritual marking of the face with paint to reveal the essence of the wearer.  MassQing (the process of creating a MassQ) requires a deeper, more intimate encounter between artist, subject and viewer and derives from the ancient phenomena of body decoration practiced by nearly all indigenous cultures on the planet.

His current project, Year of the MassQ uses the art and ritual of MassQing as a platform to engage innovators from a wide variety of industries and professions to make cross disciplinary collaborative works on the subjects of identity communion and change - the three core esthetic concepts the MassQ.

Daniel is a graduate of the Pennsylvania School of Design, where he received the Fine Arts Chair Award for outstanding work In a senior thesis exhibit and a first-year Graduate Fellow in the MFA in Media Art Program at Emerson College.
