Spark Artist

Textile, intermedia & woodworking

Vo Vo is a post-traumatic, populist, anarchist, Autistic immigrant artist who names and diagrams dynamics around imperialism, colonialism, and capitalism. Their work refers to intergenerational realities of post-trauma whilst visibilizing experiences of BIPOC, LGBTQIA2S+ and/or disabled community. This sometimes involves centering voices, lived experiences, needs and/or care of these communities, whilst exposing links to larger systems. Their work can look like didactics, care, protest, probing, grief, stewardship, mentorship or humor. Previously a social worker professionally, they seek to build bridges from an institutionalized, conceptualized academic art industry to include folks who may be inhabiting or inherently living those concepts already, instead of treating them as an external 'audience' or publick. They are a 2025 Hallie Ford Fellow in the Visual Arts.
