About: Maurya Kerr
Maurya Kerr is a bay area-based artist and the artistic director of tinypistol. Much of her work, across disciplines, is focused on black and brown people reclaiming their birthright to both wonderment and the quotidian. As a filmmaker, Maurya’s sophomore film, Saint Leroi, was described in the Village Voice as “a surreal meditation on Black history, violence, and American decay and a powerful indictment of racism.” After co-curating ODC Theater’s 2023/24 season, she was appointed as Resident Curator for their 2024/25 season. Recent writing honors include winning Rhino Poetry's 2024 Editor's Prize. tinypistol.com
