An independent illustration project addressing the problem of colorism in India in light of the Black Lives Matter movement, for my page: www.instagram.com/iamsangeetakalsi
Process
Firstly, I thoroughly research the topic, although not enough articles were available beyond the fairness cream culture in India, I did manage to collate a lot of information I could tie together for a coherent, pop-culture art project.
Result
I created 2D style artwork that brought together multiple sources of information, from the past to the present and a how-to on not condoning colorism. To tie all of it together I wrote a compelling copy about this phenomenon and completed my post.
