asmara

Guided by Black Feminist Insurgency, asmara is dedicated to the reality that freedom is a place we can build and arrive at in this lifetime. They study and practice traditions of feminist revolution to reignite the liberatory world-building that occurs before, during, and in the wake of global systems of domination. As an artist of the experimental tradition, she focuses on raising social empathy through intimate community building and the creative practices of writing, performance, and film. As part of this practice, asmara grows food for free distribution to support resilient, sovereign community members at Ujamaa Garden in the Northeast Bronx.
