Aviva Rahmani‘s longstanding interdisciplinary art practice focuses on ecological restoration as artmaking. Her projects have won numerous grants and fellowships and have been written about internationally. Her work has been featured at venues including the Thomas Erben Gallery, NYC; Various Small Fires, Los Angeles; KRICT Gallery, South Korea; Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art, Colorado; the Hudson River Museum, NY; the Cincinnati Center for Contemporary Art, Ohio; and the “Joseph Beuys 100 days of Conference Pavilion” for the 2007 Venice Biennale, Italy. She is an affiliate of the Institute for Arctic and Alpine Research at the University of Colorado at Boulder, gained her PhD from the University of Plymouth, UK, and received her BFA/MFA at the California Institute of the Arts. She is the author of Divining Chaos: The Autobiography of an Idea which explores how art can help us see our way out of a chaotic and declining world. Her current project “Blued Trees” resists ecocide by challenging the legal basis to build fossil fuel infrastructure. Rahmani is co-founder of the ecoart listserv, co-editor of “Ecoart in Action: Activities, Case Studies, and Provocations for Classrooms and Communities”. She lives in Maine with her cat Bliss.
