Job title:
ARC Fellow, Artist, Writer, and Educator
Bio/CV:
Leena Joshi was an ARC Fellow in Spring 2019 – they were chosen in the Graduate Fellow category.
Leena Joshi is an artist, poet, and educator working across sculpture, video, performance, and text. Their work considers experiences of desire, illness, and the labor of appearance for queer, racialized, and trans people, often engaging the digital and speculative as spaces to explore a shifting, illegible, and expansive definition of personhood. Joshi’s work is curious about new forms and practices in an embrace of amateurism and play. Leena’s poetry and written work can be found in SFMoMA’s Open Space, baest: a journal of queer forms and affects, and Berkeley Poetry Review, among others.
