BIO
Imayna Caceres is an artist/ curator, researcher and anticolonial activist from Peru, who lives in Vienna since 2008. Her work focuses on the deconstruction of the coloniality of being, power, knowledge –arts and spirituality, the body/mind fracture– decolonial third world feminism, and the Latin American diaspora in Europe. Part of the TRENZA collective, she occupies herself with a social criticism on the effects of systemic racism in relation to gender and class in marginalized groups.
A recurrent focus of my work is the topic of subaltern otherness and the mechanisms of exclusion it is based upon. A political engagement that questions who is allowed to be part of contemporary communities of practice, my practice seeks to challenge and disrupt the codes that sustain mechanisms of exclusion. I work with people who come from very different positions and histories, together from a space of dislocations and derootedness, rethinking the strategies that are employed for enacting identities and memories through deconstruction and resistant re-creation.
