Rajni Perera’s practice foregrounds a hybrid model that merges immigrant politics, feminine power, mythology, and science fiction. Portending an unsettling near-term future, her sculptures and paintings consider alternative conceptions of futurity; counteracting the archaic narratives that perpetuate oppressive and homogenized aesthetics. Perera describes her work as  a healing force that refigures repressive modes of representation and identity into means of reclaiming power. Perera’s work both foreshadows the effects of climate change, and imagines a cultural transformation in which those marginalized people who exist on the periphery can thrive.
