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.
