Imana Gunawan, a Texas-born Indonesian, is a Seattle-based multimedia journalist and dance artist. She recently graduated cum laude with a B.A. in journalism and dance from the University of Washington, where she received the Pioneer Newsgroup Excellence in Journalism Award and the Dance Program Scholarship for recognizing the confluence of theory, practice, and creativity in dance.
