Alisha B Wormsley (Pittsburgh, PA, USA) is an interdisciplinary artist and cultural producer. Her work contributes to the imagining of the future of arts, science, and technology through the Black matriarchal lens, challenging contemporary views of modern American life through whichever medium she feels is the best form of expression. She is a 2022 Guggenheim Fellow in Fine Arts with longtime collaborator Li Harris. Wormsley has an MFA in Film and Video from Bard College and is an Assistant Professor of Art and Social Practice in the School of Art at Carnegie Mellon University.

Wormsley’s proposal, “Children of NAN: a Survival Guide” is a film for future black femmes. The work will consist of a series of performed philosophies, myths, rituals, survival strategies on various landscapes staged in a mobile set handcrafted by Wormsley.
