Exploring Art, Aesthetics, and Politics: A delightful conversation with Shrujana

Anurag Minus Verma Podcast

A joyful and fun podcast with Shrujna. I immensely love her artwork. Over the years she has developed a signature style of her own which is not just aesthetically stunning but also stirs the thoughts because of the political messaging.

The experience of recording this podcast felt like two friends sitting together and discussing important issues and even the most mundane issues of the world. A delightful conversation which shouldn’t be missed. This is also the episode that I recorded in person with good mics so the quality of the audio will be also very good.

Episode 78 is now streaming on all platforms.
