Anissa Amalia
Anissa Amalia is an Indonesian queer non-binary multidisciplinary artist, filmmaker & photographer currently based in Kizh & Chumash land (Los Angeles). Anissa also still indentify as a muslim. Though they have to hide their queerness from their family, they still chose to have their muslim identity as a part of them because it is the strongest ties they have to their family culturally (outside of their identity as an Indonesian). The dynamic of Anissa’s identity often becomes the basis of their practice. At times the questions of "who am I?" or "where do I belong?" are the forefront of their work, other times they show it more subtly in the way they build their world through film, photography, or installation.
