WXOX @ Folklife 2025 RAINBOW MOSHO, ARTIST Rainbow Mosho 2025 Folklife Festival Attendee Youth & the Future of Culture Interviewed by Max Selby WXOX Next Wave Academy July 7, 2025 Rainbow Mosho is a teen, a Tennessean artist and entrepreneur on the Autism spectrum.  Named Thomais at birth, her love of colour and fun resulted in her artistic persona of “Rainbow Mosho”.   Rainbow and her mother Yadira Calderon collaborated in publishing ‘What I Gained and Lost During Covid19’ during October 2020 which is an art series focusing on the expression and discovery of life and death, handling PTSD, the greater meaning of family and an overall deep wisdom for a young girl with autism.  Her art has a constant theme of following a variety of experiences and realities that inspires Rainbow to create and immerse herself in art- a clear attempt to reaffirm her role in life.  Her art has been exhibited in Tennessee, USA, New York City, Dubai and Japan.  She won third Prize in the Fly Your Flag contest- organised by Kidizenship.
