Dear reader,
My name is Niyutsa and I've been doing art as long as I can remember. For me, it is the union of colours that brings the world to life.

Dear reader,

I am Premananda Sahoo and I started learning the Odissi Dance under Padmashri Guru Smt. Madhavi Mudgal in the year 2011 at Gandharva Mahaidyalaya. Madhavi Mudgal is the foremost exponent of the Odissi style taught by the Late Guru Kelucharan Mohapatra and I am one of the direct beneficiaries of this extremely lyrical dance form. I have a degree in Fine Arts from the Delhi College of Arts, New Delhi and I am a recipient of the scholarship instituted by the Sahitya Kala Parishad, Government of Delhi.

Dear reader,

I am Ananya Rao-Middleton, a 27-year old freelance illustrator and chronic illness advocate. I use my work to express myself post-brain injury and as someone living with Multiple Sclerosis. My illustrations explore the lived experiences of women in relation to chronic illness, racism and sexism, using colors inspired by nature to create wild, tropical backdrops to bring my work to life. I describe myself as a feminist illustrator and an advocate for people with invisible illnesses. If you would like to work with me, contact me on ananyarm@mac.com 

Dear reader,

My name is Mr. Suresh Gothwal (He/Him), a Jaipur based local artist. I used to be an art teacher in a local school but due to COVID-19, I have lost my job leaving no major source of income for my family. I sit on the street and try to sell my fluid art. I can’t afford canvas and so I do it on paper. You can DM me on @artist_gothwalsuresh on Instagram or call me at 9602923914.  (Translated from regional language)

Dear reader, 

I am  Patruni Sastry (They / Them / Oneself), a Tranimal drag performer, performance artist, pan-activist, and expressionist dancer from Hyderabad, India. Tranimal drag, unlike traditional drag, focuses on anti-beauty. Our clothes are made of trash material, and our makeup is random. I have also founded an online platform called “Dragvanti”, a space to promote Indian drag artists and Indian drag art. If you wish to work with me, you may reach out to me at 8179498469 or pcsastrys5@gmail.com.
