Dissecting, interrogating, and experimenting with sound is a core aspect of Anju’s practice as a noise artist, experimental music composer and media artist. Using space, volume and texture as tools, she pushes extreme dynamics to build compositions and immersive sonic experiences.
Anju brings these elements of her artistic practice into her curatorial work - with intentional focus on experimentation and artistic process as primary drivers for presenting works - encouraging artists and audiences to support and prioritize artistic risk in a shared commitment to experimentation.
Anju is Curator and Director of Vancouver Noise Fest (10 editions to date), Co-Curator of Media Arts Committee (MAC)’s sound art residency program since 2011, past Co-Curator of Fake Jazz Wednesdays, and guest curator at select festivals.
Anju has presented and performed her work across Canada, in Europe, Brazil, Japan, Mexico, and the United States in underground spaces, art centres, and through venues and arts festivals such as Fylkingen in Stockholm, Sweden; Send + Receive Festival in Winnipeg; Vancouver Jazz Festival; Polygon Gallery; New Forms Festival; Initial Shock Festival; Suoni per il Popolo in Montreal and more.
