“These paintings are done by various artists, including myself, who are from rural areas of Bihar and are Madhubani painters by profession” says Sukriti. While these paintings are filled with colour, “their own lives and individuality is colourless,” she adds.

“I chose Madhubani as the medium to do this because not only is it a beautiful form of art which provides livelihood to many women of Bihar, but also dates back to a time when men and women were equals,” adds SukritiBerang Se Rang is an attempt to make our society aware of all the small and subtle ways in which women face discrimination every day. It presents a traditional form of art practised majorly by women in a contemporary form to depict the biases these artisans face.
