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 of the continued population decline of Black-Americans in her hometown, and 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.
