Moor Mother: Performing Artist in New York

About Moor Mother

Moor Mother is the stage name of Philadelphia-based poet, musician, and activist Camae Ayewa, whose work moves between spoken text, sound, and political inquiry. She is a co-founder of Black Quantum Futurism with Rasheedah Phillips and co-leads the ensembles Irreversible Entanglements and 700 Bliss. In New York City, she appears in club contexts like Paragon, where her DJ sets sit comfortably alongside artists such as DJ Miss Parker, Nikki Nair, and X-Coast. Her performances favor density and intent over spectacle.
