Distilling riotous energies and vibrant sensations, Karthik Pandian’s discursive and polyphonic film traverses geographic expanses in search of a subterranean spirit of collectivity, kinship, and exchange. Titled with a word that has many homophones across different languages—Dakota, Ojibwa, and Sanskrit—Anoka locates a shared space in which to build anti-colonial solidarity across language, culture, and time.
