Domenic Toliver
Domenic Toliver is an interdisciplinary artist and educator from Long Beach, California. He works 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 He is especially interested in how storytelling can serve as a powerful tool for connection and social change. A former Division I football player, Toliver’s work also explores masculinity and its cultural traditions, examining how societal expectations shape behavior, identity, and interpersonal dynamics. He is especially interested in the public “masks” people wear, and how masculine norms influence these performances
As a facilitator, listener, and collaborator, he leads community-oriented projects that value lived experience, shared authorship, and meaningful exchange.
