Director: Darinka Arones (she/her) is a Peruvian interdisciplinary artist pursuing a BFA in Film and TV with a minor in Studio Art at New York University. As an Andean immigrant, Arones is interested in showcasing portrayals of the emotional psychology process of migrating and adapting. In her art, she uses saturated colors to highlight the intensity of her homesickness, grief, and melancholy sentiments. She aims to understand the duality of experiences accompanying immigrants from different ethnicities and socioeconomic statuses.
Darinka’s Quechua background has motivated her to investigate the collectivity, perspective, and existence of her Andean identity and the Quechua language in Western culture. She is Co-President of ROC, a Quechua club at NYU; and the Digital Media Assistant Student at the Steinhardt Office of Diversity, Equity, and Belonging.
