"My proposals are not strictly artistic," Cristina explains, "I'm actually looking to create a framework where people can rest, rest, and reconnect by creating."
Taller Balam hosts a workshop where people may sign up for Sumi-e classes taught by her and learn their methods first hand.

Our conversation in episode 4 of the special series Impact of Visual Arts is with Max Pedreira, a resident of Buenos Aires, Argentina, an artist highly influenced by Impressionism and Expressionism. He has exhibited in various countries like Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, Cuba, and the USA. Defining himself as a figurative-abstract painter, he aims his work to reach everyone’s soul and to never be forgotten.
Max tends to impose complex compositions on his imprint, where the human figure is immersed in labyrinths of compositional rhythms, and the expressionist tone of the figuration joins the planes of symbolic spaces in absolute harmony, here is the paradox, the complex does not shy away or avoid, on the contrary, it captures the viewer's contemplation. His works compel us to look closely. "When the result of the painting is there," he said, "what people say about my painting is that they can't stop watching the painting".
Tune in to hear Max's conversation with our host Payal Nayar about art and its impact on one's life.

Erika is a bold expressionist and her every piece is an exploration of the human figure, the tangible, as a container of memory and emotions that are recorded through the physical and emotional experiences we have lived previously. Having reached a point where movement and body expression, the discipline of music, all of this together with elements of nature such as water, has allowed her to understand and discover that there is an implicit and binding therapeutic exercise in this combination of action and expression.
Tune in as Erika shares her perspectives and her experiments with the elements with our host Payal Nayar.

In the 2nd episode of this Melting Pot Limited series in collaboration with the Singapore International Film Festival we talk to lead actor Daniyar Alshinov from Kazakhstan.
The journey Daniyar has taken into the world of film has been quite unique. Daniyar, who was unable to join the drama school right out of high school, first chose to study nuclear physics at a nearby college. He later quit in his second year of college to get an aerospace engineering degree.
Daniyar continued to pursue his artistic passion while actively attending local film auditions. Listen to the episode to know how he beautifully led his journey to live his dream of becoming an actor. He grew up in Kazakhstan in a family of teachers. After five years in the United States, he earned his aerospace engineering degree at Arizona State University and returned to his homeland.
Daniyar continued to actively participate in local film auditions while attempting to support himself as an engineer. At the age of 27, Daniyar finally landed his first acting role. Daniyar was successful in a variety of genres and dominated the local box office, but a new chapter began when he met the most distinctive Kazakh director, Adilkhan Yerzhanov. "A dark-dark man" was chosen for the official selection in San Sebastian and received an APSA award, and "Goliath" was chosen for the Venice edition of 2022. One of Daniyar's most recent projects was playing the lead in the Cannes-premiered French miniseries "Infiniti."

“There is light at the end of the tunnel, I simply followed the darkness of my own being and kept going until I discovered the light of my soul. Making peace with my deep dark shadows and accepting all my negatives and healing them I discovered my true strength and beauty. My message for everyone is "be you, for you". Unapologetic, authentic and raw and see how magic happens.

Shyama and her husband Nihal founded St Judes India Child Care Centres in Mumbai after their return to India after spending 22 years outside the country. They were inspired after their interaction with doctors at Tata Memorial Hospital India. They set up the first St Judes centre in Parel, Mumbai in 2006 to provide a home away from home for children undergoing cancer treatment. These children, accompanied by their parents, come from small villages and distant towns where medical treatment for cancer is not available.
Shyama was born in Mumbai and has retained close links to the city throughout her life. Shyama opted for a career in management and worked professionally with a leading nationalised Indian bank. Twenty years of experience in this field disciplined her in dealing with a cross section of society and in the feasibility and administration of project finance.

Emilya Colliver, Art Pharmacy’s founder and CEO has over 18 years’ experience in the art world across the public and private sectors, Emilya is driven by her passion for supporting Australian art and the practitioners who create it. Her work is characterised by strong leadership, inclusivity, deep stakeholder engagement and a focus on creating outcomes which not only satisfy but exceed her clients’ requirements, surprising and delighting in equal measure.
She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Art History and has worked for some of the top art institutions and collectors in the world including The British Museum. Since returning to Australia from London some years ago, Emilya has become a key contributor to the NSW arts scene, as her advisory committee memberships overleaf attest.
Her vision for Art Pharmacy, both through its consulting arm and its online gallery, is to bring artists and artworks closer to the community. Whether that’s curating an art strategy for a large corporation to enhance the daily working lives of its staff, or activating a public space for a local government to enhance the lives of the people who live and work in that area, her initial focus is on understanding what story these communities want to tell, to see, and to hear.
Emilya’s passion for the role of art in place-making is also evident through her second business, Culture Scouts. She might be leading a long-term Sydney resident on a rediscovery of their home town, or a tourist seeking another perspective on harbour city, but her goal will be the same: telling the story of the city through its arts and culture. It is this career-long vision which she will bring to this exciting project.

Saurabh Taneja graduated from IIT Delhi, and intended to move towards a career in the corporate sector. However due to a small stint as a volunteer, Saurabh discovered his passion for making a difference.
In 2009, Saurabh became a fellow with Teach For India. During his fellowship, he taught in a municipal school in Mumbai where he found the disparity in the opportunities available for children coming from low-income communities and from wealthy neighborhoods was starkly prevalent. Saurabh was struck by the thought of opening his own school.
It was then that an opportunity to start a secondary school opened up in Pune. Saurabh led the first Akanksha Secondary school in Pune in partnership with the Pune Municipal Corporation and The Thermax Foundation. During his time as the School Leader, he took three batches of students through the SSC exams with a 100% pass rate.
Saurabh is a humble and a deeply passionate leader with a vision to lead Akanksha into its next phase of growth.

Fatema has studied in Akanksha for eleven years and has been raised by her mother. She lives in Mankhurd so it is hard to travel by train for half an hour in order to reach school.
But all these difficulties were nothing compared to the good quality education she has received from her school. Being a part of Akanksha has influenced her life to a great extent and has made her a confident individual.
Fateema has matured and developed as an individual. Her school has always provided her with many opportunities in studies and extracurricular activities and provided her with an opportunity to solve the problems of children of her age.
“The unique feature of all Akanksha schools is that they give utmost importance to values like integrity, honesty, respect”, says Fateema. Akanksha has always been like a family to her and the values that she has learnt, will remain with her forever.

Looking at Tania's work, you would assume she has been a potter her whole life. The skillful mastery she exhibits - in particular, with her handcrafted flowers - is just incredible. However, before dedicating herself to ceramics, Tania worked as an Architect and Urban Designer. For many years, she designed townships as well as slum redevelopment projects around the world. After her decision to pursue her passion for ceramics, Tania began her training at NAFA studying under the esteemed Singaporean master potter, Lim Kim Hui.
In 2011, she traveled to Japan to study the intricate traditional art of flower making at the Tokyo Deco Clay Academy before going to France to study casting under renowned ceramicist Sasha Wardell. With this knowledge and exposure, Tania then opened her own studio in 2015.
Tania's unique background has helped her combine her techniques and design sensibilities to seamlessly intertwine both East and West to create designs that appeal to all walks of life. As a teacher, Tania encourages her students to follow their own path, to develop their own unique personal aesthetic and to express themselves through each piece they create. Padme Hum Studio and the unique work it produces is a testament to what can be achieved when you follow your passion and work from the heart.

Debprotim Roy is the founder and CEO of Canvs.in. Canvs has built a foundational studio of independent senior designers they call Canvs Club, a model that has allowed Canvs to completely rethink the way the modern design agency works. As Club, Canvs manages multiple distributed design teams and works with them to fulfil projects with some of the most important names in the industry. Canvs’ vision is to bring quality digital design to every firm in India, no matter their size. To achieve that, Canvs has recently launched a unique Design program called Access that allows small startups and teams to work with senior designers within an affordable scope. With Access, Canvs broke the mould of the incumbent agency-client dynamic and moved towards a simplified, results-oriented, time-limited relationship between firms that serves the need of both sides, skills and its demands.
Being a product designer himself, Debprotim personally steers many of Club’s projects himself. At Canvs he is continuously testing methods to break the existent baggage in the industry by adopting fresher business models and products. He believes to really make an impact in Design, we need to start empowering non-designers with its immediate benefits. Aside from running Canvs, Debprotim takes a deep interest in the bleeding-edge tech of machine intelligence. And although he claims he is not much of a reader, when he does read he likes to stick to non-fiction and scientific literature, with a strong exception to the book The Martian, which he claims to have thrice.

The new company was named after a place in Catalonia, Spain, which also translates from the Catalan language to mean “the new farmhouse”.
This became the vision for his team once it was conceived - to build a new space together where everyone would go on to raise the bar in imagining, building, and developing experiential concepts and events to spread positivity.

Originally from Nagoya, Japan, Tsuyumi was involved with the arts from a young age. After a career in TV and Radio, she moved to Singapore in 2012. Now in a new chapter of life, she has dusted off my easel and rediscovered her love of painting. She is currently establishing herself in the local arts scene.
Colour and light are very important to her as her artworks are an expression of feeling. Her works are often interpretive rather than photo-realistic and because of this she prefers not to constrain her painting style
Tsuyumi lives with her English husband and is happy to call Singapore “home”.

Meet Saira Malhotra who believes that efficiency rules the day when it comes to cooking. That’s what her cooking classes in New York City are about: recapturing the sense of fun and discovery that’s still possible in home cooking, if you open yourself up to it.
It makes much more sense to throw together something easy and accessible, finding inspiration in everything from fresh farmer’s market, fresh strawberry, ice-pops (or ice-lollies) to Israeli breakfasts, to that one episode of Ugly Delicious you caught on Netflix, to whatever you have lying around in the pantry.
She says this as someone who graduated from the French Culinary Institute, has appeared in the New York Times and on Food Network’s Rewrappe but also as a mom: fussing over an authentic, perfectly-executed biryani counts for nothing when you only have 15 minutes to prepare dinner between taekwondo practice and mediating fights over Fortnite.
Currently Saira lives in New York City, and like so many people here, her story stretches far beyond the grid of Manhattan. She grew up in a London suburb to a Punjabi family who lived by a simple belief that family dinners can be spontaneous, sometimes-messy, and always-delicious.
From London she moved on to Italy, France, and eventually New York, deepening and adding layers to her approach to food at every step of the journey.

“The universe speaks to us through its amazing creations. We’ve become deaf and blind to the beautiful colours and sounds that are constantly being displayed.
Now I know that a Warrior and Poet resides in every soul. The hard part is to make sure the Warrior in you is always dormant and the Poet to be always singing and dancing” - Omar Masroor.
For the Melting Pot series premiere, we speak to Omar Masroor,owner and founder of the Aracosia group that serves authentic Afghan cuisine who is trying to find himself through serving humanity as submissively as possible.

As a Singapore resident who has also lived in different countries like the United Kingdom, India and Spain, I consider myself a global citizen and a traveler at heart having spent most of my life overseas.
I always believed in absorbing learning from and contributing in my small way to the culture by staying engaged with the communities I become a part of.
I understand my strength is in my voice and ability to engage with people. The natural progression from that led up to my journeying and exploring the podcast platform to bring it all together in the series Melting Pot.
After working on it for about a year, I am very excited to finally announce the launch of Melting Pot. Check out the trailer, which features snippets of chats with some of my guests coming from different walks of life, each with a unique and special passion which has become a way of life for them.
Through this podcasting journey, I am humbled by how everyone has opened up their hearts and shared their life stories with me. I can’t wait to bring their stories to the world, for you all to enjoy, listen, appreciate, absorb and take away from.
