The Focus Center Foundation has named Moth Moth Moth as its new program director.
The Focus Center is a Memphis nonprofit foundation that provides programming for Focus LGBT magazine and the Mid-South community. New programming for the foundation will include expanding The Prism Pages (a literary section in Focus from local queer creative writers), a new local HIV art showcase program to use creativity through the arts to raise awareness, and a new podcast to complement the work in each of these avenues.
Moth Moth Moth, known as Mothie, is a Memphis artist, writer, performer, and programmer. In her career, Mothie has “developed programs for youth, created some of the city’s most favorite drag shows, and has made a cultural impact on the region one hug at a time.”
“Bringing someone unique like Moth on as our program director is sure to bring a new creative element to the LGBT canvas that is the Mid-South,” said Focus founder Ray Rico. “Their work writing, creating art, and performing as visual artists with drag is something that the community embraces.
“The experience in programming Moth brings to us is invaluable and we are so thrilled to bring Moth on board.”
Moth Moth Moth “seeks to find places for people to feel safe, to express, and to move forward as a spiritually beautiful and literally beautiful culture.”
