Li Sumpter, is a mythologist, educator and multidisciplinary artist based in Philly. She employs strategies of world-building, D.I.Y media, afrofuturism and gameplay to cultivate eco-awareness and community action around the “art of survival”. Li’s artistic practice and collaborative design initiatives explore real and imagined existential threats to mind, body and spirit while also offering creative solutions to address them. Through speculative stories and immersive experiences, Li aims to illuminate patterns of change and paths toward rebirth in dark and uncertain times.
