Shreya/shurjo mukhi uses colors, textures, and a mix of media to facilitate containers of space to reflect, connect, and grow. They are especially interested in using their sequential art practice to create more collaborative, experimental stories that explore individuals’ interior worlds and its connection to structural healing. 

They are committed to grounding their art practice in intersectional liberation movements, as well as in material unlearning and reparations as a caste privileged individual. In the past, they have worked on collaborative, community-based, art-centered projects with spaces like Art Enables, Lavender Phoenix, API DVRP, BATJC, SMYAL, SAADA, and Shout Mouse Press. They have facilitated classes like “Frame by Frame: Storytelling through Comics and Animation” at Project Create DC and workshops like “Wheatpasting as Resistance” and “Mindful Play through Comics” at API Domestic Violence Resource Project. They hope to support collective healing through their practice.

For commissions, workshop facilitations, and collaborations, email at gentlesuns.art@gmail.com. They are currently based on Piscataway land (DC), though born and raised on Ohlone land (San Jose, CA).
