Anusha is a curator with experience at Hayward Gallery, the Victoria & Albert Museum (UK), Musee d’Orsay (France) and Recipiente Porongo (Brazil).

She recently returned to the UK after working for Brazilian sculptor Ernesto Neto as Project Coordinator and is currently working as Curatorial Assistant at the Hepworth Wakefield.

Anusha’s approach is as much informed by her interest in materiality and embodiment that has stemmed from her History of Design MA as it is by her experience as a performer. Her curatorial practice is shaped by an focus on bodies, movement and diaspora stories.
