Rosanna Raymond was born in 1967 in Auckland, Aotearoa New Zealand.  She currently lives and works in Auckland.

A founding member of the influential performance group the Pacific Sisters, Rosanna Raymond's art practice takes a variety of forms, ranging from installation, spoken word and performance to body adornment. Raymond's ongoing project 'SaVAge Klub' responds to the late nineteenth-century London gentlemen's club of the same name, appropriating its spread across the Commonwealth, anti-establishment ethos and museum-like club rooms to create a space for 'savage' activations by contemporary Pacific artists. For APT8, Raymond will create a new SaVAge Klub for Brisbane, working with local and regional performers and programming a range of events in the gallery space.
