Afatasi The Artist is a San Francisco based mixed-media conceptual artist and futurist. Her artworkâwhich includes textiles and fine art tapestry, small paintings and murals, metal work and clothing designâis a continuous exploration of the intersectionality of race, culture, gender, class, and geopolitics. âI like to create these things because there were so many who werenât allowed to live this loudly,â Afatasi says, "and I know how much better the world would be if they had.â
