“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
