Afatasi The Artist
Afatasi The Artist is a worlds-building visual artist, futurist and counterstory teller, investigating the nexus of being a proud generational San Franciscan of Black-American and Sāmoan descent. Her work is informed by her deep concern for the continued population decline of Black-Americans in her hometown over the course of her lifetime.
Navigational modalities include wearable art, fine art textile/tapestry creation, and recycled metal sculpture as vehicles of disruption, exploration, and pathways of envisioning speculative futures for her marginalized communities.
