Darshita Jain

Darshita Jain is a Chicago-based poet, art critic, an arts administrator and a voracious consumer of content, matched only by her need to critically converse about the said content. Her work takes the shape of exhibition direction, art journalism, writing, performance, and non-profit arts administration.

Darshita currently works as the Director of Outreach and Artist Programs at Lillstreet Art Center in Chicago. Darshita is the co-founder of Povera, one of the first spoken word poetry collectives in Gujarat, India. Her writing appears in Sixty inches from Center, Chicago Reader, Hooligan Magazine, Adroit Journal and more. One line from a poem she loves: “The world keeps ending and the world goes on” – Franny Choi
