South Asian Creatives Compilation

Here I have especially compiled a number of South Asian artists and creatives, that contribute to the fields surrounding my practice. I find these people and issues intriguing as I share a common cultural/social/geographical etc background with them. I am interested in their perceptions of everyday life and how they respond to spaces that surround them. What viewpoint/stream of dialogue does each artist add to the surrounding conversations, and how this causes me to think about where my ideas sit alongside such exchanges.
