Exhibition of art and craft by person with Down Syndrome
“Aim at the moon; even if you miss, you will land among the stars,” says one of the quotes placed amid paintings by Anita Menon, on show at the Kerala Lalithakala Akademi Art Gallery in Kozhikode.
The 29-year-old has turned a star, having conducted at least a dozen exhibitions in the past few years and having walked the ramp many a time. Unlike many with Down Syndrome, Anita is not “affected” by the condition but has gone past it to be an artist and model.
Anita owes her success to her parents Ramdas and Usha who have supported her in every way possible, being her strength and voice.
