Ivy works to create Afrofuturistic, immersive multi-media creations centered on an immersive, documentary experience that celebrates Black Womxn and explores Black Womxnhood.
Ivy Nicole-Jonét is a Black Womxn artist from Greensboro, NC. In their artistic journey, Ivy Nicole-Jonét delves into the boundless realms of Afrofuturism and Black Womxnism, forging a sacred space where the echoes of Ancestors resound and the aspirations of future selves entwine.
Inspired by the intricate tapestry of Black liberation movements and the cosmic imaginings of Afrofuturist pioneers, they embark on a voyage of intersectionality. Weaving together strands of narrative, archival excavation, 3D digital innovation, and immersive installations, their approach is both an artistic expression and a reverent ritual—an offering to the Ancestors of the past and a guiding light toward a future where Black Womxn take center stage in our shared destiny.
Ivy's creations serve as portals to alternate realities, where past, present, and future converge in a kaleidoscope of memory and possibility, informed by historical narratives drawn from archival footage. Water, emblematic of Black resilience, acts as a transcendent conduit, guiding voyagers through epochs of time. Archival whispers are interwoven into a tapestry of nonlinear revelation, drawing parallels between the Afrofuturist visions and actions of our Ancestors and the realities of the present.
The use of digital tools offers an expansive canvas to explore Blackness in dimensions beyond the physical realm, with water serving as a portal.
Viewers are invited to join Ivy on an ancestral odyssey of self-discovery and collective transformation, envisioning a future where Black folx are not just acknowledged but exalted.
Their artistic practice is a reflection of their deepest truths—a testament to the resilience, creativity, and boundlessness of Black Womxnhood and folx.
