    Aniyah Alzumei

    Aniyah K. Alzumei is an artist.Studied by observations of life through a perspective skewed in realities upbringing, an artist, anthropologist.Expressed through mediums of paint, pens, pencils, sound and words.It is difficult to describe such a busy girl.2016 is.....?Moving out of Phoenix, AZ!After 11 years in the Valley, Aniyah choose 2016 to be the year she, and her projects went international.Traveling this year through Mexico, Aniyah Alzumei states her goals for this trip are to;“Experience and explore art in other languages. To diversify where all of the inspirations coming from, ya know? I love Phoenix, so I am really looking forward to experiencing other art meccas around the world and see how they maybe the same, or different. I think it will bring me to another place in my art, a new perspective.”“As a dedicated professional artist, life revolves around creation. Every morning there are no distractions, just blank canvases, and empty paper. The blankness of it all can become intimidating if you don’t just dive in. So with my first cup of coffee comes my first crumpled mess. By the end of the first pot, I am awake and so is my hand! Living this way, makes it easier for me to stay in this mind. I really do admire friends who have to switch minds, and still do. I admire them, because it is not easy to create.”What’s new?Last year (2015) Visceral Art was published as zine editions. 1-7 came out in the inaugural year of Visceral Art, in 2016 all the editions from last year became chapters. Visceral Art edition 8, will be published in late summer. Each chapter will still be illustrated to begin the theme, and the 7 pieces of poetry following will take the reader on a journey. For example the chapter to be called ‘The ways you’ll love me’, revolves around the concept of societal pressures. The ways the ‘if’ is inserted as a caveat to acceptance.And what about the band?People have asked a lot in the last few months what is to become of the band, Kinetic Catalyst. My answer has remained the same, I am still here. I have been, and I will be. As a band, Kinetic Catalyst has been blessed to work with some of the most talented musicians in Phoenix. As an improv jazz band, Kinetic Catalyst will begin to move across cultures. Every young thing must grow, and Kinetic Catalyst, myself, we are no different! To explore gives the sound the chance to mature and grow. To explore gives the movement a chance to take hold. Look for new music on SoundCloud, Youtube and Facebook as Kinetic Catalyst will be priming to blow your mind!Why do you create?Lets be real, ok?This world we live in is experiencing all manner of turbulence. One that I have noted on a personal, and societal level is that of self neglect. I swear we are nicer to people outside of us. Say you stub your toe, whats your dialogue? Inner? Outer? Do you doubt your intelligence (stupid) for the slam? Do you curse your defective (body part) for the infraction? In either of those you dammed yourself from the inside. Thats way more powerful than, me for example witnessing and calling you dumb.... I would be a jerk and you would not necessarily believe you were dumb... Now stub your toe, call yourself an idiot. Go to bed, sore toe, idiot accusations fresh. How’s your next morning? Why do we live in a time where loving you first, and best is an uncommon bond?My art, addresses love. I hope to inspire love.Five years from now?In five years, I still wanna be improv and raw. Maybe in five years theres a crew behind me that do too!In five years, a bilingual album! The 5th album... ;)Hmmm... In five years, I hope I had no clue today, what I was about to do.

      Dedicated to all this worlds orphans.

      Despite every intention

      or nice thing

      you’d wish you say

      There is still a girl, a boy

      out there crying

      alone in dark corners

      Too afraid to tell of home

      too terrified to escape

      I write to the orphans

      hiding in closets

      Manifesting realities

      to live later

      upon surviving

      After the terror made you strong

      This world is yours

      Too late

      Too routine

      Time feels primed

      to blow

      let go my soul

      Spilling out in words

      as ink bleeds onto pages

      my chains release

      ‘N

      when you're used to pulling these

      heavy steel burdens along

      a little less

      means a lot more

      Remember

      energy never dies

      only changes

      taking place

      in waves

      When you feel my hot breath

      on the back of your neck

      I’ve been waiting

      You’ve been late

      Testing too long

      till the trade

      surprises you

      Your late, too late

      the routine

      is over

      Unpredictable

      or maybe just, been waiting

      to be volatile

      oops,

      too late

      Don’t call me…

      Weary, weathered eyes

      welling in frustration

      Spilling, when good intentions

      hurt worse than a sneer

      Don't call me strong

      I’m just trying to survive

      I don't feel strong

      Hell, I barely feel alive

      Don't call me strong

      you couldn’t possibly know

      The truth is

      your compliment

      stings, like a guilty verdict

      calling out my inequities

      one-by-one

      Don't call me strong

      I can't take the guilt and shame
