This week on the Arts to Hearts Podcast, we have a very special guest who is reinventing the art world with her creative act. Lisa Ray is not only an actor, author, and writer, but she is also the co-founder of TheUpsideSpace (TUS), a curator-led digital art platform that spotlights artistic expressions from South Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East. In this episode, Charuka and Lisa talk about putting yourself out there as a creative and why it’s important to create an inclusive art ecosystem.
Lisa describes herself as a creative and wanderer, someone who never stopped exploring and refused to be confined to one creative label. While many know Lisa for her amazing acting chops, Lisa considers writing as her primary mode of expression and has also published her memoir “Close to the Bone”. She has also written numerous articles for magazines in India such as Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, etc.
Over the years, Lisa has not lost touch with her creative side and is constantly finding ways to connect back to it. One such example is Lisa’s latest endeavor, TheUpsideSpace, which focuses on bridging the gap between traditional and digital arts. By focusing especially on art from places like Bhutan and Laos, TUS is making sure that the art world can become more inclusive towards artistic expressions that normally do not get as much spotlight as they should. The world is filled with creative minds, and all we need to do is think outside the box to create a space where all forms of art are welcome!
Lisa is a huge proponent of reimagining and reinventing your modes of expression, and the path she has chosen as a creative is an inspiring one. She admits that TUS is ahead of the curve and that in itself should encourage anyone who also wants to bring about tangible change in the art world.
TheUpsideSpace has put together some marvelous exhibitions so far, so do check it out on their official website. In the meantime, tune in to this week’s entire episode and listen to Lisa talk about TheUpsideSpace and why she isn’t afraid of being vulnerable!
