Aathira is a Malayali American from Ann Arbor, Michigan.

They have a BA in Economics from Wellesley College and have worked in Philadelphia’s Arts & Culture community for over four years. A writer and avid sci-fi reader, they say of working at 12G: “I deeply enjoy traveling to the reimagined/alien/decolonial dimensions built by the artists that show at 12G. I’m humbled to help create a portal to those places right here in Philly: worlds where Black and brown folks, indigenous folks, thrive, love, and care for one another, the earth, and everything on it wildly, queerly, and without lack.
