serena muthi reed works with media, the vernacular space, and design to generate their Krewe Coumbite micro environments. Black speculations | loop | color | light | & | remix x| shape the architecture for a resonant devotional space.

Reed was born in Detroit, Michigan in 1977 and raised in Philadelphia during the 1980s & 90s where they grew up with industrial ruin, hip hop, and crack-cocaine as the local phenomena. They spent summers in the care of elder kinfolk in Lowndes County, Alabama, learning the devotional call/response rituals of that region. Borrowing from the everyday practices of their kinfolk, Reed now conducts live sound mixing to resound & dream the lives of cultural workers, working class folks, queers, and freedom fighters.
