#  Bhattacharya Named for Inaugural Artist Cohort

In February 2022, the [Harvard Ed Portal](https://edportal.harvard.edu/home) launched the pilot of a new Artist Pipeline Program for early career artists across diverse backgrounds and mediums who live and work in the Allston-Brighton neighborhood. Nina Bhattacharya, GHELI’s Instructional Design Specialist and a visual artist, was named for the inaugural cohort.

"Making collages is an active process of reflection for me, a way to thread together my personal meditations on liberation, community, and spirituality. In a world that often feels so fast, it's a space of stillness, of introspection, of moving slow,” shares Bhattacharya, who has been long involved in the Incubator’s [creative pilots and prototypes](/studios).

“My pieces stitch archival images with the visual details of scrapbook kitsch, and offer tender commentary on current moments and movements. I think a lot about indigenous botanist Robin Wall Kimmerer's words, 'All flourishing is mutual,' and I hope to evoke that same feeling of community and interdependence through my art."

The cohort of artists, together, are learning to build a sustainable arts future. Through workshops, resources, and short-term projects, they gain boots-on-the-ground skills, get individualized support for specific goals or challenges, work towards an engagement opportunity at Harvard, and earn a certificate of completion.
