Anakin Boucher is a disabled interdisciplinary artist and Master's candidate in Media Studies at Concordia University under the supervision of Dr. Sanaz Sohrabi. They work primarily in video essay and installation. Their research-creation thesis explores the intersection of queerness and disability through the fusion of machinima and autofiction. They are interested in investigating roleplaying games, literary vampirism and the broader horror genre as sites of insight on embodied experiences of otherness.
Digital fandom culture plays a pivotal role in Boucher’s process as a tool for inspiration, research and production. They create works that play with the delicate, absurd, odd and colourful as a means of making emotionally taxing topics accessible.
