Art Is a Voice

Art is like plasticine — in human hands, it takes whatever form they choose. It is a powerful tool, that is capable of changing people’s opinions, becoming both a means of protest and a call to action. In “Art is a Voice”, Kripa shows that art can not only tell a beautiful story but also serve as a form of resistance. Accompanied by striking illustrations and thought-provoking poems, the author addresses serious issues such as resource depletion, social disparity, and reclamation.

The book also features works by eleven contemporary Indian artists, including The Fearless Collective, Sudharak Olwe, Sudipta Das, and others. “Art Is a Voice” encourages readers to discover how art can become a space for activism and inspires them to reflect, take part, and make a difference. It is the second title in the Arts Integrated series by Art1st, created to introduce young readers to a variety of themes viewed through Indian art.
