The visual development and 3D artist talks about her work that can be found in shows streaming on platforms like Netflix and Hulu
Growing up, Meghana Reddy was always sure that she wanted to pursue her career in the creative industry. Being that kid in school who always doodled in her notebooks, the Chennaiite quickly realised she had the ability to translate a visual language onto a piece of paper. . Fast forward to a few years, and armed with a VisCom degree from M.O.P Vaishnav College, and experience working as an illustrator-designer at an advertising studio in Chennai, Meghana was admitted to pursue her masters in animation at the prestigious Savannah College of Art and Design in the US.
The ongoing Print Biennale Exhibition at Lalit Kala Akademi, Chennai, unfolds as a journey far beyond India’s borders, tracing artistic lineages shaped by revolution and resistance across Latin America and nNorthern Africa. Presented as a collateral event of the Third Print Biennale of India, the exhibition features a selection from the Boti Llanes family collection, initiated by Dr Llilian Llanes, recipient of Cuba’s National Award for Cultural Research, and curated in India by her daughter, Liliam Mariana Boti Llanes. Bringing together the works of 48 printmaking artists from regions including Mexico, Cuba, Argentina, Brazil, and Chile, the exhibition is rooted in the socio-political upheavals of the 1980s and 1990s. It shows printmaking as both a political and creative tool, with works that weave stories across countries and continents.
