Anaka is a writer, curator and creative producer. Her education in law and journalism have grounded her work in media & the arts. Her training is trauma-informed and systems-focused.

 

As a deeply curious person, Anaka’s work isn’t bound by media or form. And she thrives in long-term creative projects, engaging most deeply with culture, decoloniality, ecology and gender. 

 

She is equally comfortable working in audio, video and text, and has worked as passionately on independent projects as on branded content. Her clients include: Google, World Health Organization (WHO), Johnson & Johnson, MTV, Tata Power. She’s been published in New York Magazine, Vulture, The Cut, Kajal Magazine, Edible Hudson, BRIC Radio, Bedford & Bowery, National Geographic.​

 

In her third year now as Programming Director for ALT EFF, she curates films and non-film programs for diverse demographics pan-India and abroad. Crucially, she works on building partnerships across sectors to further ALT EFF's impact mission. All of this work is in the hope of serving the best interests of people and the planet by strengthening communities through the power of storytelling. She believes that traditional knowledge, community and culture are the bedrock of internationalist solidarities amidst existential threats. 

​

In her downtime, she maintains a lifelong practice in theater, dance and has previously run a non-profit arts collective, Dear Imagination.
