Mental health, feminism, and self-care through art

Sravya Attaluri is empowering women and adressing mental health issues through illustrative art.

From an interview by Feminism In India, we meet Sravya Attaluri, a creative voice inspiring change through vibrant art, inspired by personal experiences and conversations with friends and family.

Attaluri's art is more than aesthetics; it's a potent form of expression. As she eloquently puts it in the interview, "Art has the potential to address the stigma around mental health and communicate topics that can't always be verbally expressed."

Today, she's a voice for more than 30,000 on Instagram and beyond. Using her illustration art, she addresses pressing issues like mental health, feminism, and self-care, all through the prism of vibrant colors and powerful statements.

Dive into the 2019 World Health Organization report on the role of arts in improving health and well-being, or follow the research through WHO and the Jameel Arts & Health Lab’s forthcoming Lancet Global Series on the health benefits of the arts.

Key Learnings from the WHO Report:

  • Arts have the potential to bridge gaps in health policy and practice

  • Art has been proven to enhance overall well-being and provide a valuable tool for addressing challenging topics
