Tabita Rezaire is a French born Guyanese/Danish new media artist, intersectional preacher, health practitioner, tech-politics researcher and Kemetic/Kundalini Yoga teacher based in Johannesburg. She holds a Bachelor in Economics and a Master in Artist Moving Image from Central Saint Martins College, London. Tabita’s practice explores decolonial health and knowledge through the politics of technology. Navigating architectures of power - online and offline - her works tackle the pervasive matrix of coloniality and its affects on identity, technology, sexuality, health and spirituality. She is a founding member of the tech health agency NTU, half of the duo Malaxa, and mother of the house of SENEB. She says of Peaceful Warrior, “it is a decolonial self-care-preaching tutorial urging people of color to connect with their ancestral knowledge and traditional philosophical wisdom. From Kemetic yoga, meditation and womb spells to a decolonial diet, Peaceful Warrior provides survival tools to heal our traumatic genetic memory. This radical self-love kit aims to build a spiritual community for a more efficient struggle.”
