The Earth Weavers

Rima Kaddissi is an artist and the founder of PACE (Project on Artistic Collaboration and Experimentation). Her multidisciplinary work spans performance, installation, video, and sound art, focusing on reintegrating Plurality Insights and the Politics of Care into our connection with the living world. Through PACE, she has developed a methodology that provides tools for telling stories and addressing concerns rooted in lived experiences by reconnecting with intuition, sensations, emotions, and thoughts within our bodies. This approach helps translate embodied insights into creative expression and collective practice. Her methods are implemented in both academic and cultural institutions, and she mentors artists across various disciplines. Rima currently teaches at the Lebanese Academy of Fine Arts (ALBA), where she offers courses such as Thinking Bodies, Future Cinema, and Performance & Visual Arts. She is also engaged in an ongoing research project with Souraya Baghdadi, exploring Sensible Embodiment and Oriental Body Movement.
