Rodrigo Cañete is an Argentine author, art critic and blogger based in the United Kingdom. With an MPhil from the Courtauld Institute of Art for his work re-contextualising the work of Diego Velázquez, he is currently finishing his PhD thesis at the University of Warwick on Art, Racism and Death during the AIDS Crisis in Argentina and Chile. He has been awarded the First Prize in the 2020 Competition for the Peter C. Marzio Award for Outstanding Research in Latin American and Latino Art. His Historia a Contrapelo del Arte Argentino was published in 2021 with Penguin/Random House and become the first art history book to reach the list of best sellers in Argentina. He runs the highly influential  loveartnotpeople.org, a blog that more than that is an intellectual commons where queer and decolonial forms of criticism dialogue with the exclusionary practices of the art system.
