Aneeta Mitha (b. 1986, Oakland, CA) is a visual artist who uses photography, film, and new media to reconceptualize power and explore societal dissonance. Their practice critically investigates system-derived narratives that define oppressed identities and ecologies. Along with their own practice, they are also one half of KANTA Collaborative, an experimental collaboration that uses visual and socially-engaged art to address issues such as climate change and white supremacy.
Aneeta has been an artist resident at More Art for their work on the personal impacts of gentrification, and a fellow at Brooklyn Community Pride Center for their photo series on queer resiliency. Their work has been exhibited at Flux Gallery, the Brooklyn Academy of Music, the MIT List Visual Arts Center, as well as, film festivals in the U.S. and abroad. They received their B.A. from San Francisco State University in Social and Environmental Justice with a concentration in Race and Resistance Studies. Currently, they are working to increase accessibility and creative programming for youth of color as a Program Manager at First Exposures, a mentoring-based youth photography program in the Bay Area, California.
