Tari Ito (伊藤 塔莉, Itō Tari) (1951 – September 22, 2021) was a Japanese performance artist, activist, and organizer based in Tokyo who presented her work in Japan and Asia, North America, and Europe.
Ito's performance and artistic practice focused on exploring sexuality, military violence against women, and the fear of radiation exposure after Fukushima nuclear disaster in 2011.
Her work "has continued to draw on themes and materials from daily life to produce live performance artworks that she believes can become catalysts for change".
[6] Beginning in 2014, she lived with degenerative neurological conditions that limited her mobility, though she continued performing during that time.
[8] In 1996, Ito performed Self-Portrait (自画像) at various venues in Japan,[9] and as part of Womanifesto in Bangkok, Thailand, in 1997.
