alyh ab✴︎ve
Native to West Palm Beach, FL and currently creating out of Philadelphia, PA, their work is expressed through various forms of sonic, aesthetic, and energetic collage, often including 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 non-linear experimental offerings. here + human’s projects include the ‘Black Fulfillment Art-chives’, ‘human-ifesto’, and substack series ‘prompts for the modern human’.
They are also crafting existentia. — an interdisciplinary art-journal exploring The Human Experience as Creative Process through spells and stories from the inner world of ALYH ABOVE. The project features both original and found works, collaged into themed, episodic Creative Research Projects, available to stream via the official project website and bandcamp.
