Mae Anawana Haloba (g. 1978) yn artist sydd wedi’i lleoli yn Oslo a Livingstone, sydd ar hyn o bryd yn astudio PhD ym Mhrifysgol Bergen. Mae’n archwilio safbwyntiau gwahanol gymdeithasau o fewn cyd-destunau gwleidyddol, cymdeithasol, economaidd a diwylliannol amrywiol, a fframwaith ideolegol ac ôl-annibyniaeth. Mae gweithiau celf Haloba yn dechrau fel drafftiau o farddoniaeth ar ffurf brasluniau sydd wedyn yn cael eu defnyddio i greu celf berfformiadol drwy fideo, gosodiadau a sain.
