Writer and critic, mostly contemporary art, sometimes food, always politics. New York Times and 4Columns, among other places. Iβm surprisingly sweet. π¨π¦

Author of Whitewalling (aka the diversity discourse takedown heard round the world), co-curator of the Lorraine O'Grady retrospective at the Brooklyn Museum, and all-around intellectual glamazon, she doesn't just critique - she restructures. Her writing in 4Columns, The New York Times, and Bookforum is always giving: smart, unsparing, and never trying to be liked. She doesn't need to be β she's right. Aruna's the kind of Daddy who won't let you off the hook, and thank god. Her footnotes go harder than some people's entire careers. She rewrites what art criticism can do - not just analysis, but care, rupture, refusal. Basically, she's the reason your fave institution is sweating through its DEl statement. #CitationIsSeduction #FootnoteMeDaddy #WhitewallingChangedMyLife #MuseumHeelsOn #ArtDaddyCertified #LorraineOGirlies #PowerCrit #ArunaSaidItBetter #5StarFeministFury #KillYourDarlingsKeepAruna
