Katara Sedai is a work of performance art. Her science fiction autobiography is a performance archive made of the traces generated through her embodiment in the world. 

She was born as a Practice as Research seed to help investigate the following questions:

  • How are myths made?
  • Where is the boundary between reality and fiction? What happens when we play there?
  • How can ritual performance function in trauma mediation?
  • What happens to the archive? How is it generated, mediated and curated?

The projects featured here are highlights from an ever-growing collection of bootleg traces and private snapshots of her life deeply lived. This living performance archive begins to propose responses to those niggling questions her author can’t stop wondering about.
