Anuj Vaidya is a media maker, curator, and educator, who is
currently pursuing his doctorate in Performance Studies at UC
Davis. His praxis engages a diverse range of forms and strategies
that include theater and performance, multi-media installation
and story-telling, social practice, curatorial practice, arts
education, and artivism. Deeply invested in collaboration, Vaidya
seeks to break down the divide between artist and audience by
engaging them not only as content consumers but also as
co-creators through participatory processes. His work pays due
attention to the material, social, and intellectual impacts of
our storytelling and media technologies, reminding us that we
must be attentive to both the footprint and the brain-print of
the stories we tell.
