About Nytaya:
Nytaya Babbitt, originally from Jackson, Mississippi, is a Cincinnati-based multidisciplinary artist working to connect the gap between minority communities and the broader conversation of equality and justice. Nytaya believes that in order to connect and really understand a group of individuals is to provide spaces where initially no one feels comfortable. She believes that change doesn’t happen when important information and topics are made more palatable for any audience. Nytaya believes in order to be a decisive artist that is committed to serving the community she has to engage with what makes her uncomfortable.
