about the archivist
ameia’s first memories are of lemongrass, rain, and mosquito bites. they are of mixed afro-indian ancestry and are committed to the life and memory of the seeds, shells, and stories that live at the intersections of these diasporas. their work is grounded in the practice of ‘love [as] a commitment to attention’ (Deborah Thomas), and includes seedkeeping, archiving, performance, and prose.
currently, ameia is farming at the School for Inclement Weather in Kashia Pomo land, where they are grateful to be with the sorghum and the indigo, experiencing the small miracles of dirt and water every day.
