Award-winning artist, creative director, and mental health advocate Sravya Attaluri has launched a new podcast, Desi in Design.
The series explores the journeys, challenges, and triumphs of South Asian artists and designers from around the world. It will challenge South Asian legacy stigmas about creative career paths and tackle topics like finances, creative hurdles and race-related barriers, to give practical tips and insider insights.
Upcoming guests include fine artist Laxmi Hussain, tattoo artist Nikki Kotecha, and 3D artist/motion designer Hashmukh Kerai.
“Growing up as a third-culture South Asian artist, I’ve navigated my career without much representation or mentorship,” said Sravya Attaluri. “I hope this podcast can help build a support network of fellow creatives who understand each other’s unique cultural and professional struggles as well as shed some light on why art is a path worth pursuing.”
Sravya has gained global recognition as a social impact artist and illustrator, collaborating with Fortune 500 brands on projects that promote mental health awareness, intersectional feminism, and representation.
Born in India and raised across Korea and Hong Kong, she trained as a fine artist in Los Angeles and now runs her multidisciplinary studio, Hello Colour, from London, where she was awarded a Royal Society of Arts Fellowship and the UK Innovator Visa to further increase Asian representation in the West.
Desi in Design is available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
