Aarin Burch

Aarin Burch is an experimental filmmaker and interdisciplinary artist whose work explores the themes of identity and belonging. In the last few years, she has experienced a powerful resurgence of interest in her groundbreaking contributions to queer and Black feminist cinema—with screenings at festivals, museums, and universities across the U.S. and internationally, including the Sojourner Truth Festival of the Arts and Berlin's Feminist Elsewheres. She has delivered guest lectures at NYU, Rice University, and Dartmouth College, and two of her early films, Dreams of Passion and Spin Cycle, are currently being preserved by the University of Chicago's Film Studies Center.
