Kamissa Ma Koïta

Kamissa Ma Koïta’s experimental, transdisciplinary practice draws on feminist thought, alter-globalization movements, and popular cultures. Her work takes the form of performance, protest, video, and the creation of artistic alternatives, each exploring the potential of direct action as a means of producing rapid and effective change. Her practice incorporates objects from everyday life, which she recontextualizes as a way of forging connections between us. Her intersubjective approach leads her to work collectively and to consider the social body as a material in its own right. Through this research, Kamissa seeks to create inclusive, non-hierarchical spaces that are, by necessity, ephemeral. She creates these spaces as places where we can come together to dialogue, sing, resist, dance, shout, question, disrupt, grieve, reflect, and laugh. Kamissa Ma Koïta’s upcoming actions will focus on the lived conditions of Black communities, the dynamics of social privilege, and the underrepresentation of marginalized communities.
