About the author
Shraya is a multidisciplinary artist whose work brings together music, literature, visual art, theatre and film. Her writing has been lauded as “cultural rocket fuel” by Vanity Fair, while Herizons magazine notes, with each of her trail-blazing new projects, “new space is created for those who come after.”
