Deyane Moses is an Army veteran, multidisciplinary creative, educator, and curator living in Baltimore, Maryland. She is deeply passionate about Black History, archives, and cutting-edge design. In 2019, she exposed the racist history of Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) with my archive The Maryland Institute Black Archive (MIBA), exhibition, and demonstration “Take Back the Steps” which sparked a nationwide conversation on institutional racism.
In 2020, Deyane founded Blackives, LLC, providing valuable research, archival expertise, programming, and innovative design solutions to empower Black communities. She has collaborated with many of the major museums in the city, like the Baltimore Museum of Art, Maryland Center for History and Culture, and the Reginald F. Museum, to name a few.
She’s a graduate of the Maryland Institute College of Art BFA Photography 2019 and MFA Curatorial Practice 2021. In addition to being an entrepreneur and college professor at my alma mater, Deyane is currently the Director of Programs and Partnerships for Afro Charities Inc.
