It seems inevitable that Intisar Abioto would pursue an artistic career. Creative practice is simply a fact of life in Abioto’s family: between her parents and four sisters, the multi-hyphenates include filmmaker, poet, drummer, writer, herbalist, ecological thinker, vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, dancer, theater actor, illustrator, visual artist, orator, food creator, assemblage artist, and arts educator. When I ask how her family feels about her career choices, she shrugs, casually. “Everyone’s an artist, so they have their own practices…and sometimes we work on things together.”
