Title
Asiyah is an applied anthropologist and qualitative researcher with more than 20 years in executive management. She has a Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology from the University of Memphis and a Master of Arts in Cultural Sustainability from Goucher College. A self-taught quilter, Asiyah is accustomed to taking seemingly disparate items and weaving them together to identify solutions that address macro-issues.
She leads Camden FireWorks using a lens that centers the Camden artistic community as one with agency, talent, and the ability to create their cultural future on their own terms.
Lasha graduated from Drake University with a Bachelor’s in Arts where she majored in Studio Art, with a concentration in Drawing. She participated in the Summer Undergraduate Residency at the New York Academy of Art, where her art was featured in a final group exhibition. Lasha received her Masters in Fine Arts from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA).
Her work centers around themes of identity, societal struggles, and emotions. Lasha enjoys the use of found objects and materials ranging from tires to slinkies to secondhand fabrics. The use of these materials is just as important as the narratives that she instills into her pieces.
Yi Huan Yang is a Drexel University student studying User Experience Interaction Design. Yi Huan is spending her spring/summer co-op experience with FireWorks by assisting with arts programs and exhibitions as well as helping to refine the organization’s digital presence.
