Mental health, feminism, and self-care through art
Sravya Attaluri is empowering women and adressing mental health issues through illustrative art.
From an interview by Feminism In India, we meet Sravya Attaluri, a creative voice inspiring change through vibrant art, inspired by personal experiences and conversations with friends and family.
Attaluri's art is more than aesthetics; it's a potent form of expression. As she eloquently puts it in the interview, "Art has the potential to address the stigma around mental health and communicate topics that can't always be verbally expressed."
Today, she's a voice for more than 30,000 on Instagram and beyond. Using her illustration art, she addresses pressing issues like mental health, feminism, and self-care, all through the prism of vibrant colors and powerful statements.
