Each year, New York University hosts an acclaimed artist to hold residency with its Asian/Pacific/American Institute. Artists-in-Residence are invited to bring their notoriety, artistic work, and history of involvement with the Asian/Pacific American community to NYU. The Artist-in-Residence uses his/her time at A/P/A to create important new work, artistic retrospectives, forums, or conferences. Scholars, fellow artists, and community members familiar or new to the artist's work, gain a unique opportunity to engage with the Artist-in-Residence within a university setting.
Our Activist-in-Residence, Anannya Bhattacharjee, is a community organizer.and writer in New York City. She is a founding member of SAMAR Magazine and Sakhi for South Asian Women, and is the former Executive Director of the Committee Against Anti-Asian Violence (CAAAV). Most recently, she has been involved with South Asian domestic workers and other women in setting up Workers Awaaz (Workers' Voice). She has written and spoken widely on domestic violence, South Asian communities, immigrant identities, and women workers in "informal" industries. She has contributed to contemporary feminist theory and practise in various ways. She will be working with faculty and students to develop curriculum and speaking at public events.
