A couple of months ago I discussed with Gayathri Vaidyanathan, from Scroll and Leaves about creating art during Covid-19, and the Great Bengal Famine.’ In my free Chatroom Podcast we discussed ‘making comics on the Bengal Famine, 1770 in collaboration with Debkumar Mitra (funded by the Famine Tales from India and Britain project) and other artworks, behind-the-process and inspirations.’ Listen to the podcast here.
This blog post is based on that podcast narrating behind the process of drawing the history of the Great Bengal Famine, 1770.
