Anna maintains an independent curatorial and art practice, deeply committed to amplifying underrepresented and overlooked stories. She is currently working on a practice-based documentary about quillwork, matrilineal inheritances and art-making with First Nations artist Christine Toulouse.
Anna curated To Be Continued: Troubling the Queer Archive with Cara Tierney, an exhibit which highlighted stories of queer communities in Odawa|Ottawa long excluded from local public history, including Indigenous, Black, and racialized queer and trans peoples. She curated and produced the oral storytelling initiative, To Be Continued: Troubling the Archive (an arts podcast), supported by Carleton University Art Gallery (CUAG) and the Canada Council for the Arts. Season 1 and 2 of To Be Continued: A Stonecroft Symposium Podcast was produced with support from CUAG and the Stonecroft Symposium.
Anna served as Vice President on the Board of Directors at Gallery 101. She has previously served on the board of Room Magazine.
