b. 1998

Diana Bamimeke (they/them) is an independent curator, art writer and transdisciplinary artist based in Dublin, Ireland.

Their practice—spanning text, exhibition-making, performance, pedagogy and other artistic interventions—is grounded in critical & political frameworks, including Black feminist & queer thought, ecocriticism, anti-colonialism and anti-imperialism, applied especially to contemporary Irish contexts. They are interested in the negotiations of belonging, in how people become political subjects and, subsequently, in processes of abjectification.

They are a Nigerian, a Scorpio, a Mad enby, a proud auntyuncle, an evangelist for Blanchardstown, a frumpy dresser, a scab peeler, a collapsenik, and one pair of hands in the “Black ropes of hope”.
