Multidisciplinary artiste Mesma Belsaré explores how classical Narasimha's iconography could guide us through anxieties of AI technologies of the future.

In this blog artiste Mesma explores the fascinating world of hybrid figures through her creative experiments and their relevance in our world. These works emerged during time when Belsaré was awarded the Individual Artist Fellowship by the NJ Council on the Arts and the MidAtlantic Arts.

In times of global crisis and uncertainty, art often gets dismissed as frivolous luxury. But artist Mesma Belsaré argues that art isn't what we indulge when everything is fine. It is the medicine we need most when everything is broken. Drawing from her experience as an immigrant artist who left medical school for Delhi College of Art, she explores how artists throughout history have responded to crisis not by stopping, but by documenting, preserving, and bearing witness.
