Bela Malhotra from The s*x lives of college girls ✌🏾

I have been watching the new season and I realized how much I missed them all! I love Bela’s character and how fun and sharp and real she is. And of course, Amrit Kaur is exceptionally pretty 😍

I’m taking a printmaking class! Here’s some basic lineart for my first piece. This design is based off of a Yiddish card game @lgbtunis posted of Jewish folk dresses around the world.

Bonhams presents 'The Asia Edit: Contemporary Art from the South Asian Diaspora'

Bonhams is pleased to present 'The Asia Edit: Contemporary Art from the South Asian Diaspora', an auction uniting artists from mesmerising pockets of South Asia. From New Delhi to Dhaka to Bhutan, it features some of the most sensational names from the subcontinent, including Avijit Halder, Ayesha Kamal Khan, geetha thurairajah, Jasmir Creed, Kirthana Selvaraj, Md Tokon, Meena Hasan, Preetika Rajgariah, Vikram Kushwah, and Zimbiri. Through themes that reclaim one's identity, champion self-acceptance, and seek refuge in daydreams amidst a perpetually transient existence, the works encapsulate the inner conviction that eventually surfaces when one feels like an anomaly within their surroundings. Through personalised interviews and essays, the edit strives to provide each participating artist with the ability to weave a cohesive narrative of their distinct perspective and practice.

Shreya Ajmani, a writer who explores the global impact of art from South Asia and its diaspora has curated this auction for Bonhams. She previously led 'The Trailblazers' project for Bonhams and has selected ten artists with whom she has conducted interviews.
