SHANTA AMBADY STUDIO

Shanta Ambady is a Detroit-based mixed media artist, performer, diviner and medicine woman. She was born in Barcelona, Spain and immigrated to the States when she was a child with her Spanish mother and Indian father. She has been regrowing her roots in a diasporic way through artistic and spiritual explorations, inspired by magic, mysticism and the macabre... Shanta creates art to shift the energy around her. She changes place and space in non-tangible ways through her process of design and her construction of ritual tools and altars. The altars and shrines she creates offer a connection to the Divine, to the healing and restoration of her lineage and the beings connected to it.
