Anisa the Àjẹ́

Natural dyes, Ancestral textiles, and the stories woven through them

About

Anisa is an Afro-Indigenous textile artist, writer, and researcher exploring natural dyes and rectangle-based draping as ancestral archives of knowledge, resistance, and care. Her practice is rooted in the Black feminist traditions of embodied research and zinemaking, bridging material and cosmological knowing, refusing separations between scholarly and spiritual. Her work is to correct epistemicide: documenting the ingenuity of Black and Indigenous women across time and diaspora.

With gratitude, Anisa
