Her idea of starting the concept \u00a0like \u00a0an &#8216;<strong>art slam<\/strong>&#8216;, a community started \u00a0for art, artists and enthusiast is called <strong>Delhi Art Slam<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Isha has also taken an initiative called <strong>Humans Of Anxiety<\/strong> partnered with The Education Tree. They are creating space for people who suffer from anxiety to share their stories and help them through art.<strong> She even illustrates the stories received from people,so people can look at it in 2D and call it by it&#8217;s name<\/strong>. It&#8217;s really empowering. Recently, <strong>a short film, All I Want<\/strong>, for which Isha wrote subtitles for, <strong>won the best short film award at Cannes Film Festival.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In Conversation with Isha Yadav:<\/p>\n<h3>Is teaching your passion? Do you want to make your career growth in this itself?<\/h3>\n<p>Teaching is one of the few things I\u2019ve always aspired to do for the world and me.<strong> Teaching is hard, challenging and is always growing, it\u2019s infinite<\/strong>. I don\u2019t restrict teaching and learning to a classroom, neither do I aspire to be a Guru. In today\u2019s day and age, a teacher or a professor can\u2019t be a guru, you have to be a performer, an entertainer. Teaching at college gives me a chance to make a difference in the minds of younger generations. I lead them, encourage them to follow their own suit, to be aware of the world we live in. Not just to bring them at par with syllabus, but make them well aware, positive and sensitive adults.<strong> I\u2019ve always aspired to be that kind of teacher who makes a difference. I\u2019d like to never stop teaching.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>What made you to start \u201cArt Slam\u201d? How does it work?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Delhi Art Slam is a community for art, artists and enthusiasts in the city.<\/strong> We\u2019re first of the kind. We\u2019re a small group of people coming together to bring art to public spaces that are open and participative for all. We invite photographers, artists, painters, doodlers, illustrators and sculptors to come and co-curate a gallery, an exhibition, an art-walkaway, a showcase of a kind. <strong>By bringing art to the \u2019slam\u2019 culture, we\u2019re trying to create a collective that fits better and well for all underground, contemporary and all visual artists, trying to give them encouragement and due space to their work<\/strong>. The gallery we create is a makeshift arrangement. It is modelled for our basic principle, that art does not require elite setting of a gallery to be displayed. It can be anywhere and everywhere. We use basic prop, and huddle up all work together to make it an exhibition and put up a great weekend for everyone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It came out from having no art-friends around.<\/strong> All my friends looked at Art as an outsider, the reason for which was the negligible rendezvous with art. So I thought of creating a collective that fits better and well for all art community as well as serve as Step 1 for outsiders and we decided to add live-art sessions, performance art, workshops and art-therapy.<\/p>\n<p><img data-attachment-id=\"182784\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.paisawapas.com\/student-stories\/life-story-of-a-writer-a-professor-artist-delhi-art-slam\/18342129_10158691870575541_5721963317050471899_n\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/15235223\/18342129_10158691870575541_5721963317050471899_n.jpg?fit=715%2C715&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"715,715\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"delhi art slam\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/15235223\/18342129_10158691870575541_5721963317050471899_n.jpg?fit=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/15235223\/18342129_10158691870575541_5721963317050471899_n.jpg?fit=715%2C715&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-182784 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/15235223\/18342129_10158691870575541_5721963317050471899_n.jpg?resize=715%2C715&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"delhi art slam\" width=\"715\" height=\"715\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/15235223\/18342129_10158691870575541_5721963317050471899_n.jpg?resize=715%2C715&#038;ssl=1 715w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/15235223\/18342129_10158691870575541_5721963317050471899_n.jpg?resize=715%2C715&#038;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/15235223\/18342129_10158691870575541_5721963317050471899_n.jpg?resize=715%2C715&#038;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 715px) 100vw, 715px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>You are also a performance poet.

The project is art-driven. We invite people, writers and poets to share their stories on anxiety, how it happens, how they live and die everyday. In this initiative, I shall try working closely with each narrative, or story that we receive and develop it into an art form so it becomes easier for people to identify with. <strong>Having a visual inception of the trauma helps strengthen our power over it<\/strong>. We can look at it in 2-dimension and call it by its name. We can put a description tag on it and it begins to work as an essential aid for understanding the pattern of anxiety. This is how it closely has a therapeutic effect. This is how art helps in healing. I shall work on language, self-expression which is symbolic and try giving it a face, an illustration, an art-form or a photograph.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Why Periodlogue?

It\u2019s a WhatsApp chat group with about 70 women on it.<strong> Women, strangers from different walks of life came to be a part of this group and comfort, guide and listen to women on their period problems, PMSing, and bleeding days<\/strong>. It was started for every women, to give them a non-judgemental rant space for those days. Evolving from the principle, the group developed to coming out for different stories on body issues, assault experiences, rape culture, depression and clinical anxiety, PCOD, ayurvedic remedies, forming a strong bond of bloodhood. The groups has forged deepest of friendships and made us all meet most empathetic sisters. We don\u2019t feel alone anymore.<\/p>\n<p>Periodlogue was a successful experiment, I implore everyone to start their own local period support groups and give women from different cities, and cultures, a space for sharing their quest with bleeding and being a women.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Also read &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.paisawapas.com\/student-stories\/stass-foundation-ngo-karthik\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">An Epitome Of Selfless Service! \u201cIt\u2019s Not How Much We Give, But How Much Love We Put Into Giving\u201d | STASS Foundation<\/a>&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>What are you greatest achievements till now?<\/h3>\n<p>Honestly, I can\u2019t put a finger on any one thing. <strong>I\u2019m really proud of excelling in my education and becoming a Professor in one of the most prestigious universities in the country.<\/strong> I\u2019m proud of being able to write for Terribly Tiny Tales, country\u2019s most read digital story platform.<strong> I\u2019m proud to translate and subtitle a short film called \u2018All I Want\u2019 that won the best short film award at Cannes Film Festival, 2017.<\/strong> I\u2019m proud of being able <strong>to bring art to the growing slam culture in the world<\/strong>, Delhi Art Slam, is the first of it\u2019s kind.
