Aminah Ibrahim is an interdisciplinary artist of Kuwaiti, Black American, and Indonesian heritage, raised in Kuwait and currently based in NYC. Through anthropological and movement research, she connects performance, video, and sound to build modern mythologies. Using meditative modes of improvisation and repetition, she explores the geographies of identity, body politics, mysticism and ritual transformation to find freedom in the space between binary. Most recently, Aminah was a resident of Triskelion Arts, a non-profit arts organization in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. In this episode, we discuss her experience as a performance artist over the course of the pandemic, the healing nature of the sacrum bone, fashion in movement, and building intuition.
