I share my 'Inhale-Exhale' creative process—the exact method I use to turn the chaos of travel and the real lives of people I meet into public art. It is about pulling back the curtain on how I, once labeled a 'certified failure,' redefined what it means to be a working artist in India today. ### Breaking the 'Starving Artist' Stereotype My journey from dropping out of college to painting murals in Mumbai slums and NBA courts wasn't a linear path. It was messy, beautiful, and driven by a single mission: to prove that art is a viable, powerful career. This is why I started my podcast, 'Let's Bee Canvas.' I wanted to create a space where we talk about the practical side of being a creative—knowing your worth, avoiding exploitation, and building a sustainable career without losing your soul. ### Art at the Intersection of Tech & Tradition My talks often dive into how we can use new tools to preserve old stories. I don't see AR (Augmented Reality) or NFTs as a separate world. I see them as a way to extend the canvas. When I painted huge portraits of the women I met while traveling, I wanted the rest of their story to be heard. By using digital layers over physical walls, I’m helping people connect more deeply with the culture of *poora Bharat*. ### Press & Recognition I am grateful that publications like The Better India, The Indian Express, and The Morning Standard have covered my 'Travel & Paint' initiative. These features aren't just about my work; they are about the NGOs and local communities I collaborate with. My goal is to shine a spotlight on these heroes, using art as a vehicle for social change and storytelling. If you are looking for a speaker who brings raw, unfiltered experience to the table, let’s talk. ## About Sneha Chakraborty I'm Sneha. I didn't come here through a traditional path; I dropped out and started painting stories on the streets. Today, I use my voice and my art to build bridges between traditional Indian narratives and the future of digital expression.
