For many, creative expression is a formidable force of resistance and revolt, and a means to engage audiences and drive meaningful social change. Voices of dissent are a necessary feature of a thriving democracy, and artists have historically been at the forefront as forces of change. Today, we are spotlighting the works of four revolutionary South-Asian artists pushing the limits of their imagination to spotlight pressing social issues such as climate change, discrimination against minorities, and gender inequality, to fuel social change.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

MADAME GANDHI<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n

Described by the senior vice president of A&R at Sony Masterworks,<\/span> Drew Thurlow<\/span><\/a>, as a \u201cforce of nature\u201d, Madame Gandhi<\/a> (Kiran Gandhi) is a musician with a purpose. Her act of running the London Marathon bleeding freely in 2015, ignited much needed conversations globally about the need to combat menstrual stigma. She has been an unstoppable force since, facilitating conversations about female empowerment, and fourth-wave feminism in her unapologetic creative expression. In addition to her artistic work, Gandhi worked with the L.A. based organisation <\/span>\u2018Give a Beat\u2019<\/span><\/a>, as a music educator. In her role, she taught drumming and DJing to incarcerated youth aged 13-17 at Juvenile halls. With artists like Gandhi championing the most pressing social issues facing modern societies, the future really is female!<\/span><\/p>\n
