Aarushi Agni: Emoji: The Hieroglyphs of Our Time, or how I learned to stop worrying and send the risky

Aarushi Agni (she/they) is a queer South Asian writer, poet, comedian, musician, educator, activist, and person. They enjoy walking on bridges, humming a little tune, reading about cognitive neuroscience, and holding joy and grief at the same time. Aarushi earned an MFA in Writing from Pratt Institute, where they wrote their thesis in fiction and received the Taconic Fellowship to compile As Told, an oral history archive of older Brooklyn residents with Pratt Writing alums Maria Baker and Luke Degnan. Find out more about Aarushi’s life/work on her website, and regrettably, on social media.
