Li Sumpter is a mythologist and multidisciplinary artist based in Philly. She employs trauma-informed strategies of world-building, D.I.Y media and gameplay to cultivate eco-awareness and community action around the “art of survival”.  Li’s artistic practice and collaborative design initiatives address existential issues of diverse ecologies through speculative tools and sustainability projects that illuminate symbols and patterns of change.  Li teaches curatorial studies and Afrofuturism at Moore College of Art and Design, directs the Escape Artist Initiative, and is a core member of the North Philly Peace Park, Health Ecologies Lab at Slought/UPENN, and The Truth Telling Project and Common Field national collectives.
