Abhi Chinniah on loving her melanin

Auckland-based artist and photographer Abhi Chinniah joins me in this episode to talk how colourism has fundamentally shaped her life so far and her most recent exhibition “Melanin Rising”.

She shares:

• Her experiences at the receiving end of colourism
• How her personal experiences of colourism inspire her work
• How she went from Abhi, to Abby, and back to Abhi
• The influence her dad has had in her journey grappling with colourism
• What she hopes she can teach future generations about themselves and the world around them
• Her vision for the future of her Melanin Rising project
