Ep. 77: Engineering paper to tell stories - Karishma Chugani Nankani on the global influences that shape her multidisciplinary work

The Indian Edit

Growing up in Morocco, then studying in England, France and Spain have all shaped artist, writer, and illustrator Karishma Chugani Nankani in countless ways. Among the many stories she has shared is one of her widespread Sindhi clan which she tells through her art and her books. Karishma also guides others in connecting with their own stories and artistic expression through workshops in person and online. Join me in hearing how she works in different media and on different projects which all tie back to her childhood love of books.
