An interdisciplinary and intersectional ecofeminist artist, Ana Anu’s work explores poetry through the material and closely considers the importance of grandmothers in restorative justice, and a possible futurity. A published author, filmmaker, exhibiting visual artist, and climate education strategist, Anu creates in celebration of elder feminist luminaries, botanics, myth, and semiotics. Coalescing provocative language, pop iconography, and wisdom traditions, their work initiates public discourse on environmental justice.
Ana is a founding artist and current director of Forest For Trees Collective. Their work has been exhibited with Cube Gallery, Leon Gallery, NYU’s Bobst Library, Sou’Wester Artist Residency, and Governors Island. They have collaborated with The Joanna Macy Center, Feminist Center For Creative Work, and The New School. Their work has been published with NPR, Wisdom Body Collective, Co:Zine, and Say Less. They have taught with MINKA Brooklyn, Spirit Weavers, Naropa University and Sou’Wester Artist Residency. Anu received an MFA From Naropa University and an MA From NYU Tisch.
