Siddhartha Mitter

I write, often about art, artists, and creative communities, and how they engage and activate social change and civic life.

These days I often write in the arts pages of the New York Times. Past primary outlets include the Village Voice, the Boston Globe, and WNYC public radio.

A longtime freelancer, I’ve written in many places: Artforum, Art in America, The Atlantic, Diptyk, Even, Foreign Policy, The Guardian, Hyperallergic, The Intercept, Al-Jazeera, Popula, Quartz, Le Quotidien de l’Art, and more. I’ve taught in the MFA Art Writing program at SVA, and done innumerable writing-related side gigs.

I’m easily found on Instagram, and I welcome email here.
