Halima Afi Cassells (b. 1981) is an award-winning interdisciplinary community-engaged artist/gardener/mom currently working in her hometown of Detroit. Born into a creative family, her parents photographed her unsolicited murals and fashion as a kid. Community is the heart of her work. After a decade of creating murals, she credits gardening as inspiring her move away from painting into a practice using materials and processes that foster thriving of (human and non-human) communities. In addition to Detroit, her work has been featured in NY, Oakland CA, Berlin, Copenhagen, Bogota, and Harare.
Please note: All artworks will remain on display through June 30th after which purchased works will be available for pick up at BasBlue - 110 East Ferry Street, Detroit. (unless alternate arrangements have been made). For questions contact: info@basblueus.com
