My Zine

  My Zine is about the Guerrilla Girls, a feminist activist group revolving around the idea of sexism present in the art world, especially in world renowned museums in New York City, such as the Met, MOMA, and the Guggenheim. The content of the zine has a cover page, hopefully visualising the content or what the reader will get to know inside the zine.

  I've chosen this topic because I'm a feminist and pretty big on it. I feel like I should use art as a platform to create an impact and influence people about social issues. I have the privilege to do that, so I should use it. I was drawn to these lively girls because I had never had the trace of thought about women artists not having the opportunity to exhibit their works easily compared to men. So, I wanted to work upon this topic. 

Inspirational Artist: Henri Matisse

He was one of my influential artists during my IBDP.  I took the characteristics of Fauvism from Portrait of Madame Matisse and made my own self portrait.

Young Me

Well, I knew that I wanted to pursue art since I was very young. Nothing really impacted me or not that I can recall of, at a young age that drove me to wanting to become an artist. My mom would save my drawings and kept making stuff everyday, I was highly encouraged to whatever I was doing. I never really thought of any other field as a prospective career path. 

My Fist

Inspirational Artist: Raja Ravi Varma

A very famous artist from the Southern part of India, he was one of the first painters to humanise or give a human form to Hindu deities. He had gained inspiration from the Realistic European style of painting.

Generations

I think that the older generation feels that us millennials are irrational and don't listen. Well, that could be the case for anyone. But, what they don't understand or able to digest is the extreme and deeply embedded patriarchy through out the world. Most of the older generations have grew up without questioning and have accepted the way their lives are and are most comfortable to follow and continue traditions and customs. The thing with our generation is that many of us stand up for ourselves, the craving to be independent. We are now able to pinpoint and open speak our minds about any problem. The older generation can learn that how sexism is something not to accept, especially the elderly women. Also they need to understand that we have access to all sorts of information and resources, we definitely are not stupid and naive, as the previous generation.
