Mya Cavner and Edith Liben are a South-London based artist duo, recontextualising who can call themselves a dancer. We believe if you have a body you are a dancer. Mya is Chicago raised and London based curator exploring spatial narratives at the intersections of Black social histories, archives, and design. Edith is a visual artist and anthropologist whose practice is rooted in documenting identity and emotion. Together, they use subculture as a tool in workshops, publications and exhibitions to create new community spaces for movement, play and experimentation.
