Performance Intervention As A Critical Practice Against Inaction: Crafting Body Politics And Geographies Of Labour

Raisa Kabir is an artist and weaver, who utilises woven text/textiles, sound, video and performance to address cultural anxieties surrounding nationhood, textile identities and the cultivation of borders. Her (un)weaving performances comment on histories of trans-national power, global production and geographies of labour. She has exhibited work internationally at The Whitworth, The Tetley, Raven Row, Textile Arts Center NYC, and the Center for Craft Creativity and Design U.S. and shared her research, at Tate Modern, ICA London.
