Ishaa Vinod Chopra Interview

In this episode of Mad Tea, we sit down with Ishaa Vinod Chopra, author of Finding Order in Disorder and founder of the collective by the same name. Ishaa speaks candidly about living with diagnosis, surviving abuse, and navigating the systems that attempt to define her. She reflects on how those experiences shaped her understanding of self rather than ending it. Our conversation moves toward the body. Toward dance. Toward art-making as a practice of reclaiming authorship. Ishaa shares how movement, visual art, and mad poetry became tools for grounding, expression, and rebuilding identity on her own terms. This episode invites you to listen closely to how order and disorder are framed in culture. Who decides what is stable? What forms of expression are dismissed before they are understood? Ishaa’s story offers a lived response rooted in creative practice, survival, and collective care.
