Decorating your walls with Art could raise money for COVID-19 relief

Artist-led fundraisers use limited edition photographs, postcards, and portraits as incentives to encourage people to donate to COVID-19 relief campaigns
A couple of weeks ago, as Arshmeen Baveja was rewatching Rang De Basanti, the 2006 Hindi film by Rakesh Omprakash Mehra, she struck upon a wild idea. She let AR Rahman’s soundtrack wash over her, as she painted away her feelings — 10 songs, 10 digital artworks. Put up for sale on her Instagram, the prints have brought in around ₹36,000 so far, all of which she is diverting to the Migrant Workers Solidarity Network. “Rang De Basanti resonated with me, given the scale of the crisis we have at hand right now, and the mismanagement by the Government. We are stuck in a situation where we only have each other to help,” says the 25-year-old from Delhi.More Related News
