makaya

Makaya is an emerging multidisciplinary artist whose work spans visual art, poetry, and music, drawing on cultural roots and lived experiences to explore themes of identity, memory, and transformation. Born and raised in a vibrant urban center, Makaya's creative output reflects a fusion of influences, from Afro-diasporic traditions to contemporary street art, resulting in a dynamic interplay of texture, color, and narrative. After studying fine art and literature at local institutions, Makaya launched a series of solo exhibitions that attracted attention for their emotive resonance and experimental approach to materials.

Collaborative projects with community organizations and fellow creatives have further shaped Makaya’s practice, emphasizing art as both personal expression and social dialogue. Through public installations, workshops, and published works, Makaya continually seeks to challenge boundaries and invite audiences into ongoing conversations about resilience, heritage, and reimagining the future.
