Actor • Poet • Burlesque Artist • Doula
Kami Zimmer, also known as Cosmic Vagina, is a New York City based performer working at the intersection of sex education and the arts. Their work aims to strengthen the role of individual human agency in creating positive sexual experiences, by reintroducing audiences to their silenced body parts and familiarizing folks with their body's ability to cultivate pleasure. Through the act of exposing her own intimacy, Zimmer explores how sexual health, consent, and pleasure are inextricably linked. Zimmer reframes human sexuality as being with humans since birth, as opposed to a new layer of humanity added on once puberty hits. Working from the understanding that varying cultural, religious, and societal beliefs impact one’s perception of sexuality as time goes on, Zimmer leads audiences through processes of untangling their relationship to their body in whatever way would most benefit them according to their lived experience.
