Mawu Ama Ma’at Gora (dey/dem) is a black, queer, Caribbean artist and Brooklyn native currently residing in Philadelphia. As a multimodal artist they explore movement, textile art, history and science fiction as recipes for their performance art. As an educator they are a community organizer, a gatherer and a guide. They divine in the classroom and find pleasure in the unknown. As a deep listener and neurodivergent human being they are led by curiosities on life, love, grief and the made up and absurd. Their work is ritual, cathartic, raw and unconcerned with beauty, but sometimes beautiful. Told, recently that they write plays, so they write plays and they play. Movement lineages in West African dance, whining, Akoms, Fetes and the Parkway in Brooklyn for carnival. Child of many griot ancestors, hoodoo, christian and neither.
