Jazz poet Camae Ayewa, or Moor Mother, a winner of the 2024 CHANEL Next Prize


The 2024 CHANEL Next Prize winner Camae Ayewa, or Moor Mother (born and based in US), is a musician, poet and visual artist whose practice incorporates musical genres as diverse as free jazz, electronic and classical.

“My work is deeply rooted in the notion that sound experimentation and sound exploration allows one to experience agency and activate self and world healing,” she says.

Performing as Moor Mother, she has released eight albums, including The Great Bailout (2024) and Jazz Codes (2022). She co-leads the free-jazz collective Irreversible Entanglements and, together with Rasheedah Phillips, is one half of Black Quantum Futurism, a collective which explores new ways of adjusting reality through art, writing, music and performance.

Her work has been featured at the Guggenheim Museum, The Metropolitan Museum of Art and Carnegie Hall in New York, US, at Documenta 15, Kassel, and at the Berlin Jazz Festival in Berlin, both in Germany and at the Barbican, London, among others.
