Come watch animated mandalas and make one of your own. Anda Mandala marries the accessibility and affordability of new digital technology with old-school, hands-on, stop motion techniques. Stop motion creates the illusion of movement by taking pictures at intervals in time as objects change position in space. Sound complicated? It's really very simple, even my 4 year-old can do it. The animations created here will be edited together with an original musical score to produce a short video that will be screened publicly.

Kanya Lyons
As a teacher of stop-motion techniques for an after school film program from 2007-2008, Kanya was inspired to create the Anda Mandala project. She graduated from college in 1999. After nearly a decade combining freelance video and film work with teaching, travel, and self discovery, she landed at the Austin Public Library where she promotes lifelong learning. She also makes stop-motion mandalas with her daughter, Sachi.
