About MĀYĀ

Māyā Murry exists at the intersection of worlds that rarely meet. As a Computer Science graduate from Cornell University and full-time software engineer at a healthcare venture for social equity, she programs with the aim to dismantle systems that do not serve the collective. Her technical mastery spans from adversarial machine learning to full-stack development, but her code carries something beyond—a vision of technology as a pathway to liberation.

Behind the algorithms and neural networks lives an artist whose documentaries screen to hundreds, whose murals transform communities, and whose poetry bridges the intimate and the political. Her films like "Love as Revolution" and "Our Ancestors Are Still Singing" weave stories of resistance across cultures, while her large-scale public art projects have raised over funds for different grass-roots and liberation movements.

In every line of code she writes, every frame she films, every artwork she labors into, Māyā strives to ask and answer the same question again and again: How can we move closer to the freedom we dream of through what we put out into the world? How do we create futures that carry the past forward—transformed and transforming?
