AriDy Nox

AriDy is a multi-disciplinary black femme storyteller and social activist with a variety of forward-thinking creative works under their belt. These works include the historical reimagining of the life of Sally Hemming’s Black Girl in Paris, the ancestral reckoning play A Walless Church, and the afrofuturist ecopocalypse musical Metropolis. AriDy creates out of the vehement belief that a future in which marginalized peoples are free requires a radical imagination. Their tales are part of an ancient, expansive, awe-inspiring tradition of world-shaping, created by and for black femmes. While in residence, they worked on a play investigating how our relationship with the Earth (especially wetlands) is integral to our survival as a species.
