In tune with her ancestral diasporic kin from West Africa, Made in L.A. 2023 artist Dominique Moody's practice is an ode to more than sixty years of life as an urban nomad. In 2015 she created N.O.M.A.D., a 150-square-foot multipurpose mobile structure that the artist describes as an “inspiration studio.” As a celebration of the artist’s itinerant lifestyle, the piece proposes an exceptional case for life as a creative act while looking proactively at the housing crisis in urban centers throughout the United States.
