Aditi Kini writes prose, scripts, and other text objects from an office with butterscotch walls in Queens, NY.

These text objects are usually about ecology, labor and alienation, through postcolonial ecocriticism, autotheory, and weirdly, comedy.

A finalist/alternate for the Jerome Hill Artist Fellowship, Aditi’s writing has been published in Hayden’s Ferry Review, Denver Quarterly, The New York Times, and elsewhere.

ORIENTAL CYBORG (February 2024), a collection of notes, jokes, and queries on race, automata/automation, and globalization, won Essay Press’s Chapbook Prize. 

2024 also saw the release and award-winning festival run of Problematic, a satirical look at the hot take/outrage cycle machine that Aditi, co-creator, was once part of.

Aditi is grateful to have been supported by Bread Loaf, Ragdale, Ox-Bow School of Art, Jerome Foundation, Anderson Center at Tower View, Monson Arts, UC San Diego and Wesleyan University.

Two dogs have Aditi, and they make life worth living.
