The D’s Art Takes Blog
The D’s Art Takes Blog is an extension of Art From Us. Giving you insights, opinions and critique by Dancer, Writer, Art Historian, Curator, Artist and Poet Divvya Nirula. She is constantly engaging with the material and creative worlds, sharing her experiences here, with all of you.
By virtue of being born a human we have achieved a great creative jump, I feel. How? You may ask – the answer is quite simple really – by first having self-agency and second by being self-aware we are in a unique position on the evolutionary scale amongst other living beings. I can’t speak about the Universe, but definitely on Planet Earth we have come to inhabit a unique mechanism – in body and psyche – by which we experience, evaluate and conclude.
This D’s Art Takes Art Blog for me is an extension of our collective human experience, and I am but one small receptor and transmitter of my-very-specific-brand of experiences. I share because I wish to be part of a global narrative that is inclusive and celebratory of all life – through the lens of all artistic practices and expressions. As I come across them, I share my reactions, interactions, opinions and actions with you.
From time to time you will see other’s inhabit this space with me, sharing with you, taking this art conversation forward. #ArtInspirationLife
