Art Is A Voice

"Can art be a tool for dissent? If art is used by the powerful for exploitation, can it also be used for protest and resistance? In this book, artist Kripa couples eleven verses with vivid illustrations, interspersed with the works of eleven contemporary Indian artists, including The Fearless Collective, Sudharak Olwe, Sudipta Das, Prabhakar Pachpute, Sudhir Patwardhan, Mayur and Tushar Vayeda, Ravi Agarwal, Shabnam Virmani, Gurujeet Singh, Vikrant Bhise, and Orijit Sen. Art is a Voice introduces readers to activism through art, and urges us all to care, connect and contribute. This is the second book in Art1st’s Arts Integrated series that serves as a sandbox for young learners to look at a variety of subjects through works of Indian Art." Kripa is a children’s book illustrator and facilitator of art and design, whose work focusses on cities, inhabitants, environment, culture and art. Rohina Thapar is a designer for print, web and everything in-between, who approaches work through a self-reflective process, in a quest to understand the bigger picture.
