About

An exploration of digital dysmorphia and our post-pandemic relationship with media consumption and internet culture, examining their impact on global legacies of social dancing and dance music. This show unravels the entanglements that connect pop culture to Black America on digital and physical dance floors around the world.

Mya showcases found footage considering the value of social dancing as “the people’s tradition.” Alongside images captured by Naod Keflom (@naodkef), which reassert Black bodies into stereotypical western representations of dance. Together, creating visual contradictions reflecting on disillusionment, authorship, and trend.

Throughout the month of February, this show will backdrop conversations about archives & ownership, media censorship & distribution, and most importantly the need for preserving dance floors.
