Anuka Ramischwili-Schaefer is a filmmaker, sound artist and library assistant. There is a kind of infidelity to discipline embedded within her work and a slipping of the mask; a tracing of lineage and dis-lineage. Through her background, Ramischwili-Schaefer is always working on piecing together stories and folding them in on each other, looking at themes of diaspora, displacement, translation, gossip, bodybuilding and dysphoria. In working against the ethnocentricism perpetuated by her own West Asian diasporic people, she aims to disentangle ideas of “the (near) East.”
