Anamnesis is Neda Zahraie’s avant-garde poetics, a hybrid text that explores the relationship between history and experience, trauma and nostalgia, selective and collective memory. An Iranian American woman, the uprooted and displaced product of two cultures, must visit the lives of women gone before her—including her late grandmother—to reclaim her marginalized body, censored by one culture and unwritten by another.

Neda Zahraie (Kamalata) is a New York rock artist composing poetic and politically-charged songs from the belly of the beast. Kamalata is 21st Century rock; the debut album Red Lips—sounds from the East Village of New York City—stamps the arrival of rock at an uninhibited multicultural plateau.
