Rebecca Mwase is a midwife to creation. Her work investigates belonging, home and the borders we create that separate us from our selves, each other and our humanity. In all aspects of Mwase’s work, they mine ancestral embodied memory to discover our truths; the essence of our stories and creates containers that release the toxic, stagnant energies of systemic oppression. Rebecca utilizes artistic and creative forms rooted in African and Afro-Indigenous cosmologies to instigate transformation and transmute the energies of systemic dysfunction into clear visions, experimental and adaptable structures, and personal/collective practices that undergird our new ways of being.

Likes to talk to artists about: Personal ritual, spirit and ancestral memory, embodied practice, integrated work/life, craft and community based artistic practice, clarifying one’s sense of self, deepening relationships with collaborators, crafting new ways of being crafted to achieve individual and collective visions.
