Bio

Erik Moe is a writer and artist based in Los Angeles, CA.

Writing + Art

Erik Moe’s artistic and literary practice is an interdisciplinary and collaborative one, often combining art forms in contexts outside the gallery or the printed/electronic page: poetry written to guide walks; text sampled in to drawings and maps; dialogue generated by and for all of the above.

In 2015, Erik created Future Cartographic, a playground for writing and collaboration, and a home for imagining utopias beyond our time.

Erik is currently pursuing an MFA in Creative Writing at CalArts (California Institute of the Arts). He holds a BA in Liberal Studies from Temple University in Philadelphia.

As a graphic designer and art director, he has created branding for social justice nonprofits, pizza trucks and a Democratic presidential candidate. As a digital strategist he has directed national teams working for economic justice and electoral victories.
