Aruna D’Souza

Imperfect Solidarities
Thursday, July 11, 6:00–7:30 p.m. CT

Aruna D’Souza is a writer and critic based in New York. Her work focuses on artists of the global majority and on art whose intersecting aesthetic and political possibilities allow us to imagine new, more just, more kind forms of life. Drawing from her newly released book, on building solidarity beyond empathy, D’Souza will talk about work by a range of artists including Shilpa Gupta, Felix Gonzales-Torres, Stephanie Syjuco, Jennifer Packer, and Simone Leigh to discuss the ways we can imagine building political solidarities without translating ourselves into a language that is our own, and without demanding that others do the same.
