About ANIKAYA
ANIKAYA is an internationally and locally-active organization that creates live performances and runs workshops in communities around the world – including Benin, Botswana, Brazil, Burkina Faso, Canada, China, India, Japan, Korea, Mali, Mexico, Mozambique, Palestine, Rwanda and Turkey, as well as Boston, NYC, Washington, DC and other US.
ANIKAYA’s mission is to break down the perceived boundaries between people, cultures and art forms. ANIKAYA’s work falls into two symbiotic, porous categories – performance and community engagement. Both come back to one essential change catalyst – kinesthetic empathy. Our work questions the boundaries that we imagine between ourselves, and seeks to break down these imagined walls through an embodied practice of radical empathy.
We are an artist-run organization and all of our projects are created by and for people of all genders and gender presentations, people of color from the US and around the world, LGBTQIA people, people with disabilities/disabled people. Our work is always accessible by design, which is an essential and consequential element of the creative process.
