With a degree in Arts and Human Sciences, specializing in Psychology, Alunaya uses poetry and imagery to express her curiosity about the world. She writes, paints, photographs, and directs, shifting from one medium to another depending on what the work demands.

Her work is an essayistic documentary, in a cinema woven between personal experience and collective memory. In it, she explores memory and identity through the traces of colonial history, with a focus on acts of reappropriation.

Her feature film KUBANA, filmed in Rwanda, examines the memory of the genocide against the Tutsi and possible paths to reconciliation. She has also directed Des racines nées (Birthed Uproots) and NIO FAR.

Her works have been exhibited, screened, and collected in Europe, Canada, the United States, Africa, and Asia since 2010. She is the recipient of the 2022 Regard sur Montréal film residency from the Conseil des Arts de Montréal and the 2017–2018 Portrait de Photographe program from the Maison de Photo de Montréal.
