Marquavious Moore is an actor, poet, and activist from Memphis, Tennessee. His work spans stage, screen, and page in service of radical resistance and radical joy. He's a Columbia University graduate in Psychology with a concentration in African American and African Diaspora Studies, and he brings the same intentionality to performance that he brings to the page.

As a poet, he's a multiple time Poetry Out Loud champion. He's the author of Summons: poems + photos and Rosewood Ave. (both 2023), and a 2024 Martha's Vineyard Institute of Creative Writing Fellow. His activism has taken shape through education and organizing. He's taught in LAUSD classrooms, led arts based workshops centering social justice, and researched the impacts of policing and mass incarceration at Columbia's Institute for Research in African American Studies.

Whether on camera, on stage, or on the page, Moore creates work that refuses to flatten the complexity of Black life.
