Clarissa Annabel Shane is an interdisciplinary creative from Stockton, CA. She graduated with a BA in Humanities, the Arts, and Social Thought from Bard College Berlin. Receiving an OSUN Experimental Humanities Grant allowed her to do multimedia research in Paredones, Michoacán, Mexico on human/nonhuman entanglements - how wild plant usage in ceremony, medicine, and cuisine impacts cultural traditions and environmental conservation. While advocating for solidarity building and civic engagement in the past, Clarissa was a Humanity in Action Fellow, a National 4-H Conference Youth Leader, and a California 4-H State Ambassador. In the future, she plans to study health and herbalism as a de-colonial practice.
