Asante Salaam is a native New Orleanian, a multifaceted artist, and a seasoned cultural arts director dedicated to harnessing the power of art and culture as a cherished force in communities worldwide. With roots in Black cultural arts activism, Asante views art as a spiritual journey, transcending life’s limitations and embracing harmony between material and metaphysical realms.

Asante intends to utilize A Studio in the Woods’ Self as Universe artist residency as a Conjuring Studio for Sweet Spot: A Cultural Arts Ecological Family Compound by conducting an informal charette process through research, interviews, and collaborative contribution sessions, plus encouraging community members’ shared-journey visioning and conjuring, while creating original art inspired by and catalyzing realization of her project.
