Jatun Risba (they/them) is a migrant transmedia artist from Slovenia. Their work engages with ecofeminist and posthumanist discourses through performance art, conceptual art, relational art and practices of abjection, détournement and art intervention. Their practice cultivates reciprocity between species by altering and awakening sensory awareness through Vajrayana Buddhist practices and deviant uses of technology. Their work evolves along two main trajectories: Arts for Health and Art as Nutrition. Their art is informed by their lived experience of radical self-healing from Multiple Sclerosis (2012-2019).
