Often employing an Afrofuturist framework, Tanna Tucker uses comics and drawing as a way to map her relationship to the Black Diaspora, and to interrogate the utility of Black presence (or absence) in historical and mythical spaces. She is currently illustrating the Afrofuturist graphic novel, Black Kube, co-created with Ytasha Womack (Abrams ComicArts, Megascope 2022). Her work has been featured in the Eisner nominated LAAB Magazine, Believer Magazine, and The Nib.
While in residence, Tanna worked on the first draft of a long-form graphic novel exploring the history and mythology of the "Black West."
