Dr Krina Patel

Today we will hear from Dr. Krina Patel who was an artist in residence at The Indigo Arts Alliance Studio in April 2024. A practicing multimedia artist and researcher, Dr. Patel designs and develops inclusive community based arts projects collaboratively with educators and healthcare practitioners. Her passion for the arts in learning, healing and well-being comes from her experiences practicing and promoting the creative arts in a range of settings from schools to neighborhoods and with diverse groups including immigrant communities in the United States and disability communities in South Asia. Together with an arts and health collective and a neighborhood community health organization, Dr. Patel creates opportunities for engaging in creative expression and cultural experiences that invites participation from all.
