Tabita Rezaire

Video and new-media artist and yoga teacher

France

Tabita Rezaire is a French video artist, health-tech-politics practitioner and Kemetic/Kundalini Yoga teacher based in Cayenne, French Guyana. Her practices unearth the possibilities of decolonial healing through the politics of technology. Navigating architectures of power—online and offline—Rezaire’s work tackles the pervasive matrix of coloniality and its effects on identity, technology, sexuality, health and spirituality. She is a founding member of the artist group NTU, half of the duo Malaxa, and mother of the energy house SENEB. Here she discusses how art can heal both the artist and the viewer.

Question How do you know when a piece of work is finished? Craft & work read 31 other answers →
Often it’s the deadline, to be really honest. Also, research is my favorite part. I could just research forever. But then I actually need to produce. Maybe that’s why the offering part is so beautiful, because each offering/performance is different because it’s a different time, it’s a different space, and I’m a different person. Each day you’re a different person, and because the people you’re doing this with are also different, the work changes. Maybe you’ve found something else that inspired you, so you add it and let the work grow. It grows infinitely, alongside you. With video, it’s set, so it’s harder to add to it even if sometimes you’re kind of like, “Oh my god, I would love to add this.” With embodied practice it’s easier. It grows with me. That’s something I love, especially because my research never ends. It’s ever evolving.
