Moor Mother's music is connected to a future and a history, but it’s not bound to time. It reflects on our disjointed world, its shared traumas and ways of healing. It’s about faith and mutual aid. It’s music as liberation technology.

On the occasion of the Drum Listens to Heart exhibition at The Wattis Institute, Moor Mother gathers an ensemble of fellow musicians, at The Lab, to respond to the exhibition's themes.

The songwriter, composer, vocalist, poet, and educator Camae Ayewa (Dennis) spent years organizing and performing in Philadelphia's underground music community before moving to Los Angeles to teach composition at the University of Southern California's Thornton School of Music. In 2016, she released Fetish Bones, her debut album as Moor Mother, and has since put out an abundance of acclaimed music, both as a solo artist and in collaboration with other musicians who share her drive to dig up the untold.

Drum Listens to Heart is curated by Anthony Huberman and organized by Diego Villalobos, with assistance by Katherine Jemima Hamilton and Meghan Smith.
