Witchcraft, Artcraft, Lifecraft: Notes on Making and Living in Everydayness.

This article focuses on the artistic and spiritual practice of a queer Black femme artist of African descent who explores syncretic spirituality through multimedia work deeply informed by African diasporic religions, Christianity, and personal experience. The artist’s project, including video, installation, and assemblage, engages themes of Black feminist spirituality, mental health, racialized existence, and everyday rituals, drawing on influences such as medieval Christian books of hours and the work of Betye Saar. The artist constructs a DIY spirituality that honors ancestral and diasporic traditions while addressing trauma, survivance (a concept combining survival and resistance), and self-compassion. Through this work, the artist invites reflection on trauma, wellness, and the sacred, situating personal and collective liberation within a decolonial and diasporic framework.
