I use painting as a tool for conversation, healing, and community building. Let's create something that speaks the truth.

This slide, 'If your art could whisper a truth to power, what would it say in one sentence?', is from a fellowship I was part of. Fellowships have been my way of learning and growing, connecting me with people and ideas that explore how art can create hope and bridge gaps.

A snapshot of my desk during an online fellowship session. My notebook, filled with colorful mind maps and notes in Hindi and English, sits in front of my laptop. This is what my learning process looks like: absorbing stories and experiences to fuel my art and activism.

A screen recording of a live online conversation about the Travelling Arts and Film Festival (TAFF). In this clip, the festival's purpose is explained: bringing 'artivists' to the Northeast to talk about gender-based violence through art, film, and workshops.

This is my official introduction as a facilitator for TAFF 2024. It describes my intention to use my art to tell stories, evoke emotions, and create an open space for dialogue around the difficult topic of gender-based violence.

Here is my profile as a facilitator for the Gramya Manthan program. It highlights my journey as a self-taught artist and my commitment to using my creations to tell stories and create open dialogue, which is the spirit I bring to all my facilitation work.

About Art for Social Change

When you bring me on board for social impact art, it is not just about putting paint on a wall. It is a collaborative process where I facilitate workshops to pull out the stories, fears, and hopes of your group, whether it is an NGO, a campus, or a corporate team, and translate those raw emotions into a mural or canvas that truly belongs to you.

I am Anupama, and I believe art is my rebellion. I do not just create; I facilitate stories, healing, and community-led transformations, whether it is on a blank wall or in a room full of people ready to share their truth.

Each panel of the 'Stories of Water' mural tells a different part of the story. From the farmer dependent on the rains to the children playing in floodwaters, the artwork depicts the complex and often contradictory realities of water access and urbanization in our city.
