L to Halsey • M to Myrtle-Wyckoff • 21+ Tribal IDs accepted ABOUT Aru Apaza (she/they) is an interdisciplinary artist who favors working in performance, installation, and analog film media. Based in Lenape territory, Aru is Aymara, connecting her to the sacred lands of so called Bolivia. Currently, Aru explores late stage Capitalism through the lens of a space ndn, portraying the myriad of experiences surround Urban Indigeneity. Often lost in the dissonance of Capitalism, imagination becomes vital in initiating an important dialogue of indigenous liberation and survival. Apaza’s work is situated within the vast intersection of Ancestral Technologies and modern day Western Imperialism.
