Ghida Anouti

Ghida Anouti is an architect, writer, and filmmaker. She is interested in narrative-building, visual culture, and acoustemology in relation to the production, reception, and consumption of media. 

She recently graduated from MIT with a Master of Science in Architecture Studies from the Aga Khan Program for Islamic Architecture.
