Malhar

Art is a form of coping, allowing for free expression without judgment. It flows as an effortless medium of communication: invoking empathy and a platform that bridges well-being and a supportive community.

T-0 and it's time for volume II 🎉☀️ Go check out the works of the most wholesome group of people we've had the pleasure of working with! malharproject.com/volume-two

✨ZINE ALERT✨ Volume II of our zine drops in 5 days! Featuring friends of Malhar, this volume dives deeper into personal stories & identities behind the community. Keep your eyes peeled, as time does fly by fast! Cover art by Jeannette O. #zine #mentalhealthart #identity

So join the community in supporting those in need Whether it's by commissioning a personalized poem, a doodle, or simply donating a small amount, let's make this as fun as it is meaningful!

While our goal is to create an accessible community, running a project incurs substantial costs. As we ourselves are young artists struggling through the maze, we believe using the remaining amount to sustain the project is an effective way of ensuring this can continue long term

There's collective trauma we are all facing & we've decided to act. We're launching a ko-fi page to collect donations & support communities in need We will be donating 75% of all funds to verified charities, non-profits, & communities leading relief efforts to those in distress

But now we’re back and we have exciting things in store for you! Stay tuned to learn more 🌱 #weareback #art #zines #communitylove #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthbreak #blackoutpoetry #return #mentalhealthartwork

The last couple of months have been quite a ride. Between dealing with difficult events around the world & staying afloat, coping has become the top priority for us. So we decided to take a mental health break.
