Vidhu Aggarwal

Vidhu Aggarwal’s poetry and multimedia practices engage with world-building in multiple platforms: visual poetry, video, and graphic media. Her poetry book, The Trouble with Humpadori (2016), imagines a cosmic deformity as an avatar of the racialized global body. In the multiple versions of the book Daughter Isotope, she engages in a “cloud poetics,” as a way of thinking about personal, collective, and digital archives as a collaborative process with comic artists, dancers, and video artists. A Djerassi resident and Kundiman fellow, she is the Theodore Bruce and Barbara Lawrence Alfond Chair of Literature at Rollins College.
