Wonder, inward
Wayne Wonders
Personal essays mapping the landscape of becoming: identity, creativity, and the journey of moving from mental clutter to creative clarity.
Read the storiesI’m a Brooklyn-based multimedia artist, designer and writer. I use video, photo, and essays to explore the questions that have orbited my mind for what feels like the entire history of the universe:
What are we inheriting?
Who are we becoming?
What does it mean to belong?
Those questions led me to travel the western hemisphere as a Duda Fellow in 2025, part of my independent research documenting Afro-Latin urban history and culture. They’re also laying the foundations for a creative world I can call home.
WonderWorld is a multimedia storytelling platform asking compelling questions about the histories under our feet and the people we are becoming.
Driven by curiosity as an antidote to fear, we write and create videos to empower Black creatives to unearth the past and build a more wonderful future.
To us, wonder is not merely a feeling to chase, but an experience to embody, and that starts with transforming the questions we ask about ourselves and the world around us.
We wonder together. Welcome to WonderWorld.
