ALYH ABOVE is a multidisciplinary artist, researcher and archivist constructing artistic research projects that study, express, and reflect on The Human Experience as Creative Process and its role in black fulfillment.

Native to West Palm Beach, FL and currently creating out of Philadelphia, PA, their work is expressed through music, writing, production, design, film, archive, theory, philosophy, and creative liberation strategy. 

At current, they are developing their worldbuilding studio, here + human, which aims to equip artists and cultural workers to create the world(s) we need next. Through here + human’s non-linear educational, artistic, and archival offerings, ALYH intends to help seed liberative change through fulillment. They are also crafting existentia. — the name of both a speculative world and an art-journal that expresses their humane experience through the the curation of fulfillment ephemera.
