As a means to uphold these stories A.J. creates writings\, performances\, installations\, objects\, sounds\, and visuals. These creations often revolve around an interest in water and aquatic life\, escapism\, Blackness\, science\, grief\, US history\, and the global future. A.J. is deeply invested in leveling the hierarchies of truth and using personal narrative to speak on political and cultural amnesia and their absurdities. A.J. currently works and lives in Chicago. \nAyanah Moor is a visual artist who centers Blackness and queerness in her approach to painting\, print media\, and performance. Moor’s artwork is held in the permanent collections of the DePaul Art Museum\, the Museum of Contemporary Photography\, Chicago; Soho House (London); and the David L. Lawrence Convention Center\, Pittsburgh. Moor’s recent exhibitions include\, I Wish I Could Be You More Often\, Cleve Carney Museum; t/here or t/here\, Intermission Museum + Stand4 Gallery; and Direct Message: Art\, Language and Power\, MCA Chicago.
