Darinka Arones

Darinka Arones is a Peruvian interdisciplinary artist and recent graduate of the Film and TV department at NYU Tisch School of the Arts. She debuted as an actress in Vince Gilligan's TV series Pluribus, with the character of Kusimayu.

As an Andean immigrant, Arones is interested in showcasing portrayals of the emotional and psychological processes of migration and adaptation. In her art, she uses saturated colors to highlight the intensity of her homesickness, grief, and melancholy sentiments. Darinka's Quechua background has motivated her to investigate the collectivity, perspective, and existence of her Andean identity and the Quechua language in Western culture.
