Allen-Golder Carpenter (b. 1999, Washington DC), lives and works in Washington DC. Carpenter is a gender non-conforming interdisciplinary artist, designer, poet, and author whose work explores the multifaceted nature of identity and its interaction with the world, challenging our understanding of space by transforming social conventions into a form of architecture. Carpenter's work interrogates memory, systemic violence, and cultural erasure—especially as experienced by
Black communities in the United States, integrating various media, images and found objects to delve into the dynamic interplay between hip hop culture and the judicial system, censorship, and personal identity and the internet.
