United Way of Greater Atlanta is partnering with ComfiArt, an Atlanta company helping artists monetize their art and enrich the arts community by telling their stories. Our new, limited-edition collection with ComfiArt showcases wearable art featuring original works by Maryam Moma and Yuzly Mathurin, who were asked to share their vision for a Greater Atlanta united for a more equitable future.
A portion of all proceeds will go to support each artist we feature and will benefit United Way of Greater Atlanta’s Child Well-Being Mission Fund.

About the Artist: Marryam Moma
A master commander of the craft blade, Tanzanian-Nigerian collage artist Marryam Moma melds a palette of repurposed archival paper and other media to create layered imagery with new associations, deconstructing and reintegrating pieces to create visual experiments in color, texture and shape. Moma celebrates the human form and reinforces ideas about individuality and self-love. The clarity, discipline and execution of her work reflects applied strengths from a formal education in architecture. Moma aims to empower and uplift the Black body, especially the Black female body, unveiling magic and breaking collective contemporary stereotypes-allowing society to rediscover Black women: Powerful, complex, beautiful, revered, and valuable. Moma’s hand-cut collages are focused on elevating the importance of the Black experience and body.
