Basanti Miller

Basanti Miller has been an ongoing participant in Loft programming since high school, and she is thrilled to take on the role of teaching artist. Basanti graduated from the University of Minnesota in 2011 with a BA in anthropology and received her EdM in 2015 at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Her specific focus in graduate school was arts in education. Basanti has instructed arts-based curricula in multiple US cities, with a variety of age groups, including K-12 and higher education. She currently identifies as a page poet, but in high school and college she performed spoken word poetry at open mic nights around the Twin Cities.
