Moor Mother is the viscerally charged output of Philadelphia based interdisciplinary artist, Camae Ayewa.

‘Moor Mother might be the most radical – even the most useful – Afrofuturist artist to emerge for years. Fetish Bones works not just as an atlas and an archive but as a mausoleum, housing the bones of those who have fallen along a bloody trail stretching all the way back to 1886’ — WIRE
