In this new episode of the Arts to Hearts Podcast, hosted by Charuka Arora, we have an interview with artist Pallavi Singh. Pallavi shares her personal journey as an artist and how she explores the grooming culture of men in Indian society. During our conversation, Pallavi opened up about her experiences in art school and the challenges she faced in the art world. She reflects on how her work has evolved over the years and the importance of questioning societal norms and expectations. Pallavi's art aims to challenge these ideas and provoke thought. Pallavi delves into the concept of men wearing jewelry and ornaments, explaining that it was once normalized in history and mythology. However, colonization brought about a change in perception. She highlights how men in Indian culture used to wear kadas, rings, and chains, but these practices became associated with femininity along the way. Pallavi also mentions that the act of men wearing nail polish and mehndi (henna) still exists in some marriage cultures in India. Through her art, Pallavi strives to present everyday moments from people's lives with a twist, challenging the stereotypes and facades associated with masculinity. By using simple language and relatable themes, she hopes to engage people from all walks of life and spark conversations about our preconceived notions.
