Seema Anand is a London based mythologist and story teller, holds a doctorate in narrative practices and has performed at The V&A, the British Museum, Rich Mix, Asia House, amongst other leading institutions. She is an acknowledged expert on ancient, erotic literature and her seminal work on the Kamasutra as a text on women’s issues is ground breaking.

Seema is an acknowledged authority on the Mahabharata, the Ramayana, and lectures on Tantric philosophies, the Kama Sutra, and the Bhagavad Gita. Her reinterpretation and reproduction of Indian folk lore and tales is associated with the UNESCO project for Endangered Oral Traditions.  She believes that the stories that we tell, define our roles and establish our identities within the community and if we are to create change – real, sustainable change – it is these stories that we have to change.
