About Asata

Asata Radcliffe is a writer and multimedia artist. A California native, Asata received her MFA in Creative Writing from Antioch University in Los Angeles. She writes speculative fiction and essays and is now shifting into a realm of creative work that culminates in multimedia collections as art installation, merging writing, film, and form. Her practice includes a fusion of Black-Indigenous and Buddhist cultural cosmologies that often amplify a futurist vision of ecology. Asata’s speculative work provides an outlet to re-frame memory and explore the past and future. Concerned about the planet, her research includes topics of land ethics, futurism, and the nonlinear narratives of human existence.

While in residence

Asata will spend the time writing, photographing the area, researching at the local archives, and continuing her experimentation with brushless painting and digital art.  

Open Studio Days & Reception

There will be open studio times twice a week on Fridays and Saturdays for the public to drop in and check out all she has been working on. There will be a final open house/closing reception on August 20, 5-7PM
