Zora J Murff is an artist and educator based in Oregon. Other facts about him include: he practices art to support consciousness-raising and to engage in intellectual struggle. The industry compatible objects he makes often–but not always–relate to the violent paradoxes and perils created by an imperial paradigm. The most influential book he read last year was Joy James’ In Pursuit of Revolutionary Love. An exhibition of his industry compatible objects, RACE/HUSTLE, was curated by his friend and accomplice, Terence Washington. The show is on display at MASS MoCA and runs through Fall 2026.
