Creative Artist & Founder
Imani Lenz
Imani Lenz is a creative artist using video, photo, and music to tell stories rooted in real people, real places, and lived experience.
Why My Work Exists
A lot of creative work today lives in imagination, performance, or speed. I’m more interested in what’s real — real people, real places, and the stories already unfolding around us.
Everyone has a story. Technology can be used to flatten those stories, or to preserve them. I choose preservation.
Through long-form conversations, follow-alongs, and music-led storytelling, this work documents culture as it’s lived — creating space for perspective, emotional resonance, and connection over time.
These projects aren’t made to be consumed quickly. They’re meant to be returned to, learned from, and cherished — rooted in real people, lived experience, and cultural memory.

Who This Is For
This work resonates with people who value presence, perspective, and stories rooted in real life.
It’s for those open to listening, learning, and experiencing culture as it’s lived — not packaged.
