Aleeza McCant Stargazing
Aleeza, a Black queer neurodivergent traditional and digital artist, is the creative force behind Melanated Illuminations and Aleeza Creates. One of her primary objectives is to leverage AI tools to bring a wide variety of concepts and worlds to life. A key aspect of her work is the effort to diversify AI, particularly in the representation of Melanated, plus-size, and gender non-conforming individuals. Aleeza also uses her traditional art skills to design and creating pieces that celebrate diversity, challenge norms, and to evoke and explore the spectrum of thought-provoking emotions.
Aleeza created both the light and sound art for this location.
