​My name is Mo Wisdom and I am a Jamaican-American artist, researcher, and cultural worker based in Atlanta, GA. My visual mediums of choice are typically digital art programs, magazine collage, spray-paint, and acrylic paint on canvas. I have 8+ years of experience doing art and graphic design, and 3 years as a social media strategist and manager. In my research, I utilize a creative methodology that interrogates exhibition as a mode of community building and public scholarship. With a focus on making accessible the conversations of an emerging Black counter-public on YouTube, my research aims to bridge the ever-widening gap between cyberspace and physical space. I am interested in understanding ritual and myth as it is developing on social media. How can we understand the historical prejudices embedded in the archives? How is oppression being optimized through decision-making algorithms?

For as long as I can remember I've been an artist. My committed pursuit of a professional career began in 2021, when I decided that my creative passion belongs not just to me. It also exists to be in service of my community. I started creating my tarot collage series, The Conscious Collage Tarot Deck, which is an ongoing spiritual mediation on how we as artists remix the symbols and images that surround us to make sense of the moment in time we occupy. 

Since 2021, I've been vending prints of those collages at local artist markets, gradually adding more pieces and apparel to my shop offerings. I also cherish my time doing tarot readings for the people in my community that seek my services. In 2023, I fell in love with spray-painting and graffiti. Both collage and spray-paint are mediums that place me in a beautifully intuitive flow that I hold with reverence. At the beginnning of 2023, I also put out my first solo musical project, after 8-years of only pursuing music in the context of my high school marching band, both as a student, and then as an instructor with the percussion section. My music is where my aesthetic sensibilities merge with my intellectual endeavors, melting messages of liberation into sugary, bold, percussive dance beats in honor of the artistic legacy of my Jamaican heritage. Above all else, I am is a creator. Whatever my spirit calls me to create, I jump at the chance to learn and incorporate into my artistry.
