Creating worlds worthy of wonder

A true world-builder, Anatola’s multimedia art exists at the intersection of technology, ancestral wisdom, and civic imagination. She creates immersive experiences that invite audiences to reimagine the world they inhabit.

Her creations have graced the walls of institutions including MoMA New York City, Art Basel, Lincoln Center, the Museum of the Moving Image, and more. Her films have been recognized across 18 international film festival awards. Each piece is a portal into possible futures, forgotten histories, and radical imagination.

From large-scale immersive exhibitions to experimental video art and animated film, Anatola's productions transform public spaces into worlds worthy of wonder.
