Valerie Asiimwe Amani is a Tanzanian artist and writer whose practice explores the intersections of body, language, and myth. Working across video, textiles, performance, installation, and text, her work responds to questions of belonging, memory, and how we make sense of ourselves in the world. She has exhibited internationally, with recent presentations at Hastings Contemporary (UK) and Museen Stade (Germany). Amani was awarded the 2023 Foundwork Art Prize and the 2022 Ingram Prize. Her work has been featured in Art Monthly, Hyperallergic, and Texte zur Kunst. She is currently based in Oxford, where she is completing a practice-led DPhil in Fine Art at the University of Oxford.
