MA
Indë (they/he) is an artivist born, raised, and residing in Massachusetts. In a nutshell, they contend with American imperial systems of division, using multimedia compositions to combat the lynching, disenfranchisement, and misrepresentation of queer people of color.
While in Boston for their BFA at MassArt, they took advantage of the ProArts Consortium to complete courses in music theory, composition, and performance at the Berklee College of Music. Their studies at MassArt and Berklee nurtured a rigorous work ethic, collaborative capacity, and advanced multimedia approach to creative expression. These attributes make them a valuable member of the Northampton Arts Council, and staff member at the Northampton Community Music Center (NCMC). Indë is the Media Manager at NCMC, and facilitates the Ujima Singers, Northampton’s first and only Afrocentric choir.
Indë’s touring exhibition, Mirror, Mirror, was first exhibited as a solo show at the 50 Arrow Gallery in September, 2024. Mirror, Mirror is made up of: music from Indë’s forthcoming album Role Model, large paintings of queer people of color, mirror/glass-based sculptures, projections, and live performances designed for community education and the amplification of marginalized voices, both present and prematurely past/passed. “My would-be role models [are] buried: Marsha P., Marlon Riggs, and Malcom X.”
