Featuring a new series of portraits by Arpita Shah that explore South Asian female identity, commissioned by GRAIN Projects the ‘Modern Muse’ portraits visually and conceptually explore the ever shifting identities and representations of South Asian women.

As part of the publication GRAIN commissioned new writing by Alina Khakoo. ‘Modern Muse & South Asian Feminism’ explores these portraits as a collective and community within a social genre.
