KAI E.K. MAUREANTESS

An avid culturist and futurist, Cedric P. Harriott, whose afro-artisan identity is Kai Eroh Kihran Maureantess or Heh Heru is a writer, poet, musician, producer, monk, vegan, an IT engineer, and a hobby painter. K. Maureantess founded an African-rooted modern mystery school and monk monastery in 2014 (SAAMR, Inc.), a coffee and creations company in 2018 (UAAC & CCo.), and now Cultured Melanin Literary & Visual Arts Studios in 2019 (CM.LVAS.)

 

The mission of CM.LVAS is to serve as an organization that supports a collective of talented artisans in a variety of crafts. The idea is that by combining the talents of various afro-artisans, no project would be unachievable and no creative work limited.

​

Painters could collaborate with sculptures, photographers could collaborate with artisan glasswork masters, video producers could collaborate with music production artists, or members can work their projects independently with the full support of CM.LVAS if they so wish for it.

"Please consider adding your talents to our ever-growing network of afro-artisans, collectively working in the same artistic space." - K.E.K. Maureantess
