Eighteen-year-old Priyanka Paul is an illustrator and poet whose pieces put the spotlight on social issues. Her art, re-imagining Hindu goddesses, recently went viral online. The second artist, Tara Anand, is also 18. Known for her work on women warriors, this illustrator's art is influenced heavily by history, literature and her surroundings.
A self-taught artist, Suruchi Choksi will present a video installation at the exhibition. Sarika Bajaj, meanwhile, has displayed her works around
the world. While these four artists are based in Mumbai, the fifth, Devika Swarup, comes from Delhi and is a visual artist who works across four media - drawing, printmaking, sculpture and installation.
