About the artist

David Roy

David Roy (they/xe/xem/xyr) is a multidisciplinary artist, educator, and maker from Los Angeles, California. Their work is guided by the declaration of art as a practice of freedom that should never be separated from everyday life.

In 2016, Roy founded a space agency called BLACKNASA, with the mission of promoting the use of rockets for peaceful purposes only by conducting rocket science; both technical and social, through the design, fabrication, and launching of rockets, as well as interventions in public space. Since its inception, they have expanded BLACKNASA into an umbrella organization - to address its original purpose, and possibilities beyond.
