Aadrit Banerjee
A queer South Asian artist of Bangladeshi descent, Aadrit looks at love, desire, (intergenerational) trauma, healing and solidarity in today's age, through his works that involve the body, a mix of languages, colours and moments of silence. He has performed at different galleries, colleges, and literature festivals across Indian cities, as a poet, spoken-word and theatre artist. He was one of the six selected poets from across the UK and India to perform at the 2025 Kolkata Literary Meet and Arthshila: Shantiniketan as a part of ‘Language Is A Queer Thing 3.0’—an international poetry exchange programme led by The Queer Muslim Project in collaboration with British Council. His works were also exhibited at the 2025– “Together We Thrive: Celebrating Diversity” curated by the British Council, New Delhi. Presently pursuing Master’s in English Literature at St. Stephen’s College, University of Delhi, Aadrit works as an editor and translator.
