Imani Rameses
Imani Rameses is a cognitive scientist, choreographer, dancer, teacher and life-long learner for her community. Her current focus lies on a decolonial approach to understanding the anatomy of the eye, which is formed at the intersections of cognitive (emotional) psychology, participatory performance practices and alchemy. Rameses challenges beliefs of ‘objective knowledge’ by carefully combining her performance practices with methods of cognitive psychology and juxtaposing them with ancient African and modern alchemist technologies used by the diaspora. Her work has been shown by ImPulsTanz, Tanzquartier Wien, the Wiener Festwochen, the University of Applied Art Vienna, brut Wien, Digital Arts & Science DAS-Zürich and the Society for Artistic Research (SAR). Her research has been presented at Harvard University, the Zurich University, the Centre for Phenomenology at the University of Johannesburg and international conferences, festivals and symposiums. imanirameses.squarespace.com
