🎉Meet alumni Kirti Narain ’22 (Photographic & Electronic Media MFA) @kirti_narain who was interviewed by @shoutoutlaofficial in the "Local Stories" section. 

In it, Kirti discussed what it's like starting your own business, a deeper dive into their career/work, and even gave a "Shoutout" to mentor @billgaskin. Upon this news we reached out to Kirti to see if we could also share, and share any active projects they might be working on (check it out below) ⬇ 

A look 👁👁 inside the interview: 

“I started my journey with a camera when my father gifted me an iPod Touch, as it would satisfy both—my music love and it had a camera to click pictures. I would always carry it and click on every single thing I liked. Both these interests of mine have shaped me to now become a director in the Indian Music Industry Scene. My business is me being a passion-driven artist, and I believe that my thirst for art is never quenched."

"I would like to give an honorary mention to my mentor, my director from MFA, Mr. Bill Gaskins. He saw in me what other people couldn’t. I always would speak about me making my political science undergraduate club together with my passion for photography. I still remember, in my interview to get into MICA, Bill asked me what makes me unique. That day, that question and how I answered it changed my life. I said, ‘Personal is political; belonging to a political school of thought, I see everything in a way where I can start a conversation of a revolution to put my feet into the social causes I wish to work towards.’ And, that’s it. I think that’s where I knew what my intentions were with my art and what were the creative ideas + ways I will always put into my concept.”

What current projects are you working on right now?

 "I am currently working on a project called ‘Kuriosity W/ Kirti’. Here, we'll go beyond the classroom and make it into a passion project. I told myself that I would highlight my generation’s artists in a talk on visual art with me. Starting a YouTube/Podcast to showcase my conversation of mine with my vision and other creators and curators."
