BLOG
Me as The Indian Artist
|
From 2020 to 2024, I was a blogger for the University of Michigan Arts Department, where I curated a weekly column aimed at opening conversations around culture, religion, and identity through art. Each Sunday, I featured a new piece — ranging from works inspired by my Indian heritage to simple technical studies and explorations of broader artistic themes. Many of the pieces I wrote about delved into the symbolism and traditions of Indian culture, offering readers a detailed look into its beauty and complexity. Through this platform, I aimed to celebrate cultural diversity and invite others into meaningful dialogue through visual storytelling.
