About the Workshop

As a continuation of the AKTIV8 PORTAL series, AnAkA will create AKTIV8 PORTAL (6) in Atlanta, GA by performing to the trees and revolutionaries protecting them in the sacred Weelaunee Forest. As a descendant of these Muskogee and Cherokee lands, AnAkA will perform Angel Music as a bio frequency medicine for the land, the people and beyond.

About the Facilitator

AnAkA (she/he/they) applies ancestral root work techniques to all of their artistic and cultural practices. AnAkA utilizes visual, herbal and sonic preservation as a tool to reclaim severed wisdoms, due to the echoing generational disturbances global colonization has caused. Since 2012, AnAkA has cultivated an ethnographic project entitled AKTIV8: an original archive created with the intention to document and strengthen the heartbeat of the global Indigenous movements and rituals of our current time. AKTIV8 is an archive, a research center, land preservation project, as well as a creative studio for stories being told that honor sacred wisdom. The intention is to bridge the gap of reverence that exists between the institutional arts world and the traditional stories of the very much still existing ancient cultures of AfroIndigenous peoples. AKTIV8 PORTAL experiences have been touring the world since 2021 gracing places such as NYC, LA and Paris in order to share the AKTIV8 Archive and its sacred wisdoms in safe space. Through this work, AnAkA advocates for the rights of artists and healers desiring the freedom to exchange wisdom in sovereign spaces.
