In case you wondered where the thankless Thanushka Yakupitiyage is from, she is a “Sri Lankan born, Thailand raised activist, cultural organizer, and DJ under the artist moniker “Ushka.” When she isn’t crafting dancefloor spaces, she’s a political and cultural organizer. She has performed across the U.S, Mexico, and Canada—including at institutions such as Brooklyn Museum, MoMA PS1, American Museum of Natural History, and the Rubin Museum. She is the NYU Asian/Pacific/American Institute 2018-19 artist-in-residence and was selected to be one of 52 artists who will be producing new work for The Shed Open Call in 2019.”
Ah, a Tamil Tigress.
Nothing about that bio says her art is any GOOD, just that she has sex with the right people and can check off a lot of intersectional boxes.
