Aviva Rahmani

Rahmani has taught, lectured and performed internationally, and is the recipient of numerous grants and fellowships including two from the Nancy H. Gray Foundation for Art in the Environment in 1999 and 2000.

More recently, Rahmani concurrently studied for a GIS certificate at Lehman College, CUNY, while finishing a dissertation at Plymouth University, UK.

Her work embodies a discourse that focuses on the power dynamics of disaster and how rising sea levels will not only effect landscape, but also result in the relocation of communities and refugee migration.

[13] In 2009, Rahmani served as a formal observer for University of Colorado Boulder at the COP15 and blogged about her experience for High Tide, an arts collective based in Liverpool, UK.

[14] Rahmani's current work reflects her interest in the application of mapping analysis,[15] to "explore potential solutions for urban and rural water degradation in large landscapes.

Those early travels fostered a deep interest in her about how history inflects understanding and allowed her to consider how genocide and ecocide merge.
