Anika Nawar Ullah is a Bangladeshi-American and Adivasi/Indigenous Marma Tribe descent transdisciplinary artist (M.S Media Arts + Technology, MIT), National-Geographic documentary filmmaker, health + ecological activist, and budding integrative psychiatrist based in Los Angeles, California.

Her artistic work traces relationships between transnational/intergenerational bodies, identities, memories, trauma, displacement, joy, technology, and living ecologies. Drawing from animism, psychogeography, hybridity, mysticism, decolonization, and the liminal space between documentary and fiction, Ullah’s research-based practice spans film/video, performance, new media, photography, text, sound, painting, social-environmental sculpture, participatory art-making, and collective action. Descendant of 1971 Bangladesh Liberation Movement artist-activist leaders and Adivasi healers, Ullah aspires to embody ancestral visions for liberatory earth healing.

Ullah's works have been exhibited in domestic and international venues such as the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, CultureHub NYC/La Mama Experimental Theatre Club, Ars Electronica, MIT Museum, Venice Biennale, Taitung Art Museum Taiwan, Spectra Studios, ARTtogether Oakland, NAVEL LA, Happieee Place Karachi Pakistan, Fronte Art Cultura La Border Gallery, Parse Seco Gallery Taos New Mexico, A'tolan Tribe Community Center, Calit2 Qualcomm Institute Gallery, and National Geographic Society Headquarters.
