mo Futures currently embodies the artistic practices of visual poetry, Archiving, writing, learning, Dreaming and Time-traveling. Their creative expression primarily takes the form of video and photo installations, digital and tangible Archives, self portraiture, collages and the written word. They navigate the realms of Afrofuturism, Imagination and Rest as resistance with their Queer and Trans Afropean experience everpresent.
Their constantly expanding Archives radiate joy, hopefulness, pleasure and Waywardness, providing relief to the immense need for positive visual representation of and for their communities. With their art they reinscribe Black Queer people into history, facilitate Dreams about better worlds and create spaces for us to Heal. All while contributing to keeping the flames of Queer Afrofuturism alive and burning high.
