Lilly Manycolors (Australian-American b.1989) is a single mother, scholar, youth arts educator and interdisciplinary artist known for their emotionally-excavating artworks and ritual performances. Manycolors utilizes their racialized, marginalized/impoverished upbringing and experiences of being a disconnected/reconnecting person of mixed-raced/ethnic heritage in their art practice to “move towards existential reconciliation and evolving beyond the [western] human, restoring a sense of beingness, and reclaiming the self from the desires of white supremacy”. Their scholarly work centers trans-species kinships and decenters human supremacy seeking to understand the human’s role in a planetary future. Manycolors runs youth arts programs yearly for elementary, middle and high schoolers that are rooted in political liberation, planetary kinships and reframing art as a mechanism for growing, learning and sharing. Manycolors founded the community arts studio AUNTY’S HOUSE in Providence, RI in 2023 to fulfill the need for a parent/youth centered art space that bolsters multigenerational engagement. Manycolors is an adjunct faculty at Rhode Island School of Design.
