Vidhu Aggarwal

Vidhu Aggarwal’s poetry and multimedia practices engage with world-building, video, dance, and graphic media, and draw mythic schemas from popular culture and ancient texts. Her poetry book The Trouble with Humpadori (2016) imagines a cosmic mythological space for marginalized transnational subjects. Poems from Humpadori were listed as the top 25 from Boston Review in 2016 and appeared on Sundress Publications Best Poetry of 2016 list. Avatara, a chapbook from Portable @Yo-Yo Labs Press, is situated in a post-apocalyptic gaming world where AIs play at being gods.
