Nana Kumi is a queer Ghanaian-American writer, multidisciplinary artist, and spiritual herbalist from Natchez, Miss. Her work translates the language of plants, visions, and dreams into naturalist and afro-surrealist landscapes as activation sites for collective re-remembering. Nana completes her work through several mediums: analog photography, film, collective narrative, and installation to weave Black Southern traditions and West African spiritual lineages to reimagine containers for rest, liberatory co-dreaming, and radical imagination. “I believe that the power and resiliency of our food and medicine ways is deeply embedded in the practice of our Ancestral Technology-primarily nature reverence.”
