From Wikipedia page written originally in Norwegian:

Anawana Haloba Hobøl (born 1978) is a Zambian-Norwegian visual artist.

She is educated at the Evelyn Hone College of Applied Arts in Lusaka, Zambia, at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and at the Academy of Arts in Oslo. She has been a fellow at the Smithsonian Institution. In 2021, she wrote an experimental opera entitled "Negotiating the Subtle Encounters" as part of a PhD at the Faculty of Art, Music and Design at the University of Bergen.

She describes her artistic practice as an ongoing investigation process of the positions of different societies within varied political, social, economic and cultural contexts and frameworks of an ideological and post-colonial nature. Her artistic practice is symbiotically linked to and through her preparatory exercise in designing poetry in the form of sketches from which the artist abstracts into performatively based works of art in moving image, installation and sound, while at the same time creating situations where the material culture of a given place can be examined and reassessed within a schema of rapidly changing modern subjectivities.

In 2015, Haloba created the work "A Prose, A Song, A Poem Look Yonder" on Husøya in Træna municipality, as part of the project Skulpturlandskap Nordland.

She has performed alone or in group contexts at the Pompidou Center, Oslo Art Association, Galleria d'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea in Bergamo, Sørlandets kunstmuseum, National Museum of African Art in Washington D.C., the Rauma Biennale, Zentrum für Kunst und Medien in Karlsruhe, Museu Coleção Berardo in Lisbon, Venice Biennale 2009, Manifesta 7 in Bolzano 2008, biennales in Sydney 2008, Sharjah 2007, 2013, 2019, São Paulo 2016, Shanghai 2016, Lyon 2017, Bucuresti 2021, Fellbach triennale 2021.

In 2014, she participated in the foundation of the Livingstone Office for Contemporary Arts.

Her video "I want to tell you something" has been purchased by the National Museum.

As of 2023, she is an associate professor in contemporary art at the Norwegian Academy of Fine Arts.

She is married to Halvor Hobøl.
