[View full gallery](https://mytribe.in/2flatbrush/large-scale-murals/gallery) I use paint and collective action to dismantle silence. Whether it is for an NGO campaign, a youth camp, or a public space, my process transforms heavy topics like gender, equality, and justice into visible, shared conversations. ## Photos and videos - [Video: A video from the Yuva Taleem Youth Camp, where I facilitated an "Art for Social Change" workshop. We worked with hundreds of youth to explore values through painting, culminating in a large-scale mural of Gandhi. This shows my process of using art as a tool for education and social dialogue.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/921ac5d8-b03f-4fe3-9e4a-8ae5a8f0ba03) ## About Art for Social Change: Workshops & Community Murals My workshops are not about teaching drawing skills; they are about facilitation. We use theatre, mural painting, and multi-media tools to unpack complex social issues like gender violence or civic duty. When we work together, the final mural or installation becomes a document of our collective dialogue, not just a decoration. ### How We Work Together Every project I lead follows the AHEAD methodology—Art, Hope, Equality, Autonomy, and Dialogue. This is not just a painting session; it is a structured exercise in listening and storytelling. When you bring me in for a workshop, we aren't just looking at color theory. We are looking at the 'why' behind the wall. #### The Process 1. **Dialogue & Research:** We start with conversations. Before a brush hits the wall, I dive into the themes your group wants to explore. Whether it is a university campus discussing history or an NGO addressing community rights, the research informs the imagery. 2. **Collaborative Execution:** I don't believe in dictating art. I facilitate the creation. I have worked with hundreds of youth, university professors, and activists, helping them find their voice through paint, spray, or natural pigments. Sometimes volunteers join in, sometimes we build a mural together from scratch. 3. **The Outcome:** The goal is a tangible, public piece of art that keeps the conversation going long after I leave. ### Why This Approach Matters Traditional team-building or educational workshops often feel sterile. By using art, we tap into something deeper. I have facilitated sessions that include everything from theatre exercises to large-scale mural creation, and the result is always the same: people who did not feel heard start speaking. My murals are durable—I use heavy-duty outdoor emulsions and UV-resistant coatings—so they are built to last in the real world. If you are an organization or a group looking to spark real dialogue, let’s talk about how to get the paint moving. ## About Girija I am a middle-aged artist who believes that truth is political and art is how we name it. I run these workshops because we need new ways to talk about the things that actually matter. It is messy, it is loud, and it changes things.
