Amanda Piña

Amanda Piña is a Vienna-based artist and researcher whose practice engages with movement, ecology, and decolonial thought. Her work draws on Indigenous knowledge systems and world-making/world-sustaining practices that offer alternatives to the dominant paradigms driving today’s socio-environmental crisis. Since 2014, she has been developing a long-term artistic research project entitled Endangered Human Movements, which responds to the accelerating loss of cultural and biological diversity. Working collaboratively with artists, local communities, scholars, and activists, Piña creates performances, curatorial projects, lectures, workshops, and installations that host the re-emergence of ancestral forms of movement, proposing relational, embodied ways of being in the world. In recent years, her focus has turned toward extractivism and climate change, examining the violence embedded in modern colonial naturalism.
