  damali ayo | exile in whitesville
She moved to Portland on whim: All she knew about the city was that it rained a lot and it was whiter than tuna salad on Wonder Bread.
Though its racial makeup is not unique, ayo believes that Portland in particular lives "in a kind of delayed politic...all the communities that I've met are still dealing with issues that I dealt with 10 years ago." Ironically, the very culture ayo exposes as ignorant via her artwork has embraced and celebrated her creations.
She is one of the founders of the defunkt theatre company, which specializes in contemporary and unproduced works, and she has taken on the local theater community for its racism.
