20. Alok (@alokvmenon) - Apart from being one of my style inspirations, Alok is a performance artist, public speaker and writer. They fight the the good fight for the marginalised every day. No matter how rough it gets, they keep pushing. Alok is incredibly beautiful inside and out. #alokvmenon #existenceisresistance #fightthegoodfight #poc #brownartists #artforall #learnbeyondthenorm #bemoreyou #knowwhoweare #januarycalltoaction https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs3rQ0jA1kB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=zpc9zbvlhfzt

19. Christine Rai (@yeahitschill) - I get so much enjoyment from Christine's artwork. She has the ability to tap into certain feelings or moments and capture them perfectly. Humour is definitely needed in tough times. Check out her page! #yeahitschill #existenceisresistance #fightthegoodfight #poc #brownartists #artforall #learnbeyondthenorm #bemoreyou #knowwhoweare #januarycalltoaction https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs09S_dgeYE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1r3mp4zbmyjvz

Oh wow! I’m gonna be on this line-up with these badass #centroamericanxs at UC Berkeley this Friday to talk about our creative work! It’s open to the public so please roll through with your friends and family. #chapinas #salvi #brownartists #brownwriters #berkeley #ucberkeley

Alert from @terry_mardi - Many of you will not know that I was an #artschool graduate. I had to hide that for many years from my #desi community. It was frowned on and so being an #entrepreneur was much more acceptable for the #gossip patrol of my parents generation. I was always the black sheep of the so-called "family". I then learnt that many of my fellow #brownartists went through similar challenges. @desicircus became the means through which I would aim to #SmashStereotypes and today we aim to continue to do just that for #DesiYouth. #Art is #selfexpression. Having seen first hand, the effect that surpression of #emotion can have on people in the #southasian community, I thought it'd be a good idea to honour those brave enough to wear the title of #Artist proudly. Coming soon is a brand new passion project entitled #Artchod where we speak about #AllThingsArt and the social, moral and emotional impact of experiencing it in all its glory. FOLLOW @DESICIRCUS FOR MORE INFORMATION. HOSTED BY the introspective @TERRY_MARDI and special guests. Coming this autumn. If you're an artist please get in touch as we'd love to talk to you and set up a crit of sorts. #DesiCircus is #DesiYouth Follow @DesiCircus

Indian band Mushroom Lake is a 4 piece ambient/psychedelic/post-rock act that’s caught my attention as they continue to make music and push boundaries musically. More music can be found at their SoundCloud and Facebook.
