Hello! I’m Tara Kenny, an arts and culture writer based in Naarm/Melbourne.

I write regular TV reviews for The Monthly, as well as criticism and reporting on pop culture, internet detritus, and IRL trends for various local and international publications. High-brow analysis of low-brow culture and dissecting media portrayals of women are my specialties.

I’ve participated in readings, panel discussions and podcasts for the Melbourne Writers Festival, Asian American Writers’ Workshop, Backyard Stories, Ladies of Leisure, The Paris End and Schwartz Media. In 2024, I participated in the MIFF Critics Campus.
