Kishwer will tell the stories of six female artists of color through a collaboration with Twelve Gates Art, the only South Asian owned and curated art gallery in Philadelphia and the Delaware Valley. Through a partnership with its executive director, Aisha Zia Khan, Kishwer hopes to interview these artists and share their narratives through her Philadelphia-centered podcast, Talkadelphia. Kishwer believes female artists, especially those of color, find media coverage of their art to be almost nonexistent and hopes to change that trend through podcasting.
