We’ve been following the hashtag #SouthAsianArtists through the weekend and it has been the most refreshing and exotic hashtag ever. The work being showcased is on a level of artistry we had not encountered prior to this season.
The hashtag is a showcasing of the work of Artists who are from or who have lived in South Asia, which includes Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka etc.
If you’ve not been following here’s a good place to start, as we’ve compiled 30 of our favourites whose Art we’ve started stalking since we found them through the South Asian Artists hashtag:
