David John Attyah ~ Early Designs for Sorry.
David John Attyah is a contemporary artist who lives and works in Los Angeles. Attyah has collaborated extensively with playwright and performer Melissa R. Randel. In 2013, he managed the art direction, prop fabrication, and set design for Randel’s The Hat. Since 2019, he has consulted on art, design, and story for Randel’s current project Sorry..
Attyah and Randel have shared artistic sensibilities about embodiment, movement, and symbolism. Like Randel, much of Attyah’s own artwork addresses gendered vulnerability, identity, and reconciliation.
Attyah received his MFA from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston/Tufts University and his MA in Cultural Anthropology from Harvard University. He has a bachelor's degree in public policy from Princeton University.
Attyah’s most recent visual art project, The Museum of Selective Homo Amnesia appeared in 2022 and follows his several solo exhibitions, including Eros in Ruin (2016), and Actions Speak (2009). Attyah has also designed several books, including A Mark for Every Body (forthcoming), The Jugular (2014), Daily Litanies for Sentient beings (2017), and A Brief History of Outrage (THINK AGAIN, 2003).
