About: 

Mya is a Chicago-raised, London-based artist and curator whose work delves into the intersections of "Black movement." She explores movement beyond the physical body, encompassing migration, dance, archives, spatiality, and sound. Her body of work examines the relationships between the foundations of dance music, raving as a cultural practice, and visual culture, centering the Black American experience within an international context.

Currently featured in the 2024 New Contemporaries selection alongside Edith Liben, they challenge conventional ideas about dance, asserting, "We believe if you have a body, you are a dancer." Through subculture as a tool, they forge new community spaces for movement, play, and experimentation across workshops, publications, and exhibitions.

In addition, Mya curates programming for MOVEMENT! at SET Social Peckham, creating an inclusive space for dancers, ex dancers, non-dancers, and anyone interested in engaging with their body.
