One rarely gets a glimpse into the everyday happenings of an artists life. Much of the artistic discourse is manufactured, built to please the art market, and what goes into a living a creative life often gets lost. This podcast attempts to demystify the inner workings of an artists mind while preserving the magic it holds for us all.

    We are not done yet! hope in the time of crisis with artist Salik Ansari

    In episode 3, Salik and Tasneem, friends for over seven years, talk about many topics while examining each new train of thought through the lens of his art practice. They discuss the effects of social media on society - a general lack of empathy, a sense of fear and hopelessness, and being digitally manipulated by algorithms and the politics around image-making at large. While also strategising ways to tackle its problems with creativity and wit. They touch upon how, in an artist's personal life, their family members and strangers interpret or misinterpret their art and practices as they try to articulate what the essence of being an artist is to them.

    Living in a woman's body with Artist Vasudhaa Narayanan

    Episode 2 of the podcast is a conversation with Artist Vasudhaa Narayanan. We speak to her about her exploration of the politics of women's bodies and gender under caste in an Indian society. Looking at women's relationships with their bodies beyond shame and hate, and into a space of acceptance. This podcast episode was a special one for us as we got to speak with Vasudhaa in the gallery space, which held her new series of photographs - the show ‘spoiled fruit’ in the newly opened Fulcrum gallery in Bombay. Conversing intimately near her work, there was no escaping the intent of her imagery. The photographs, sound and the artist book that comprised the show spoke to us deeply, on the subject of the shame we hold, both internal and external, about our bodies; hoping for an eventual acceptance of who we are. The conversation took a similar flow, opening old wounds and revealing shared fears that we as women carry in our bodies, and how Vasudhaa has tried to reclaim the trust she shared with her body in her childhood through the making of this body of work. --- Artist Portrait Credits - Nishant Saldanha

    A love for plants with artist Mohit Mahato

    The first episode features Mohit Mahato, an artist who wears his heart on his sleeve. This might not seem so unusual for an artist, but Mohit personifies being raw, vulnerable, and open to processing difficult emotions through his work. In this first conversation, we touch upon something that has not been explored before: the intimate friendships between artists. The host, Tasneem Lohani and the guest, Mohit Mahato, have been longtime friends and collaborators and have watched their practices grow individually and also sometimes in relation to each other, both growing by learning from one another. This layer of closeness helps open up the conversation to areas that artists don't usually like to go when being interviewed, and through this familiarity, we see moments of them being in pure synchronicity. Here we plunge into the motivations behind Mohit’s art practice, leading to serendipitous moments such as when Tasneem was able to derive such insights from Mohit's work that he might not have had direct access to when creating it. Come live these moments and more with us in our debut episode, and we look forward to having more enriching conversations. Feel free to comment or DM us and tell us what you think or how our work made you feel. Follow us on Instagram @theartistsocietycollective and we’ll see you soon for another episode!
