In February 2014, Jasmine George from TARSHI interviewed Maya Rao, a performing artist and a professor currently teaching in Shiv Nadar University, for the March issue of the blog.
During our interaction with her, she shared with us her journey as a performing artist and her experiences with young people addressing issues related to gender and sexuality. Her recent piece ‘The Walk’ has found a place within the feminist movement and resonance with people from all walks of life post the December 2012 brutal gang-rape and murder of the 23 year old student. For Maya, art as a medium is a very cathartic experience.
