Maya Perry

Maya Perry, a recent MFA graduate from Yale, investigates the emotional bonds between humans and animals, focusing on themes of protection, vulnerability, and longing. Perry uses these creatures as metaphors for vulnerability and transformation, meditating on how trauma is both recreated and reclaimed. She spent her formative years performing experimental music both in collaboration and solo. Her animated films have been screened at the Tricky Woman Festival, Vienna, and Lago Film Fest, Italy. She recently performed and exhibited at Kinosaito, Verplank, New York, Perrotin Gallery, New York, and The Next Contemporary Toronto, Canada. She lives and works in New York City.
