Biography
Anajara Amarante is a chronically ill, queer Brazilian artist. Their main
media of work is the moving body. Their professional interests are
personal and political: queer, dissident bodies, marginalized
communities and art practices. Their main artistic practice is
concentrated in the field of performing arts (focus choreography),
with previous formations in Biology and Communication. As a Brazilian
living in Europe, Anajara is interested in immigrant people, the
construction of their identities, and post-colonialism, as well as the
construction of joy, inclusion, and diversity. As a performer,
choreographer, curator, lecturer, and speaker, Anajara has been part
of numerous important festivals, congresses, and events, collaborating
with Sophiensälen, Uferstudios, Goethe Institut, Maxim Gorki Theater,
Tanzkongress, among others. Recent works include: Decolonization
Praxis and the Art of Talking Disability (22021/022); Butching
Cowboys (2022 and 2024) and Approaching Care (2024)
