PAINTER BABU RISHABH IN NEW AVATAR

…….In New Avatar

“Designer-Artist-Columnist and my dearest Sister Ms Swapnil Shukla has created this stupendously magnificent logo for Painter Babu. I am overwhelmed to receive this surprise and love the creativity and clean,

powerful look of the design. She just executed above and beyond... which is rare. This new and astonishingly bold and beautiful logo will help Painter Babu Rishabh ( as a brand) to stand out in the crowd!

Thanks Swapnil !”

2019, was a great year. We have started our 01 year Digital Campaign 'FORGET ME NOT: Go Achromatic for a cause' with the motive to Say No to VAWGC (Violence against Women, Girls & Children) with auspices of Swapnil Saundarya & Painter Babu Rishabh............

This one year #digital #campaign was started in Januray 2019

with the mission to win the battle against social evils in the form of VAWGC

prevailing in

our

society.

We

combined

#technology,

#socialmedia, the #arts, #journalism, religion, #culture, #business and #activism in a bid to highlight the many ways in which violence devastates women, girls and children through this digital campaign. This campaign has popularized the black and white colours as a symbol of personal commitment to the eradication of violence against women,girls and children. The black and white colour dress or ribbon symbolises the commitment of the wearer to “never commit or condone violence against the vulnerable, and to

speak out about violence where they see it�.

We

have

also

introduced

the

concepts

called

Participatory

communication and action, Art Activism and Protest Art through this campaign. Participatory communication has been defined as “a dynamic,

interactional,

and

transformative

process

of

dialogue

between people, groups, and institutions that enables people, both individually and collectively, to realize their full potential and be engaged in their own welfare.�

Art Activism is a dynamic practice combining the creative power of the arts to move us emotionally with the strategic planning of activism necessary to bring about social change. And Protest art acts as an important tool to form social consciousness, create

networks, operate accessibly, and be cost-effective.

Social movements produce such works as the signs, banners, posters, and other printed materials used to

convey a particular cause or message.

We tried our level best to change the mindset of the people up to some extent and made many women and girls realize that it is not their destiny to tolerate all sorts of exploitation, harassment and discriminations.

There is an urgent need to create an environment conducive and motivating to their social, economical and

political

empowerment.

We

believe

that

all

women, girls and children have the right to be free from

physical,

sexual

and

psychological

violence.

Violence against women, girls and children is never justifiable and can be prevented.

The campaign will draw to its close on December 2019. Every ending is always a new

beginning.

something

new

When begins

something and

a

ends, new

beginning is always a new opportunity.

Keeping this fact in mind, we take great

pride to announce 'The Bold Brigadeâ€&#x;, a collective to celebrate the Inclusive Power of Arts.

our new collective, please feel free to contact: painterbabupb@gmail.com swapnilsaundarya@gmail.com
