In her article ‘A South Asian therapist’s take on tackling mental health stigma with community arts and cultural art practices, through an intersectional lens’ Rupa states that “two passions fuelled my motivation for this article: contributing my intersectional voice to representation within the Australian art therapy landscape and sharing insights from using community arts to tackle mental health stigma in South Asian communities”. JoCAT co-editor Ying Wang talks to Rupa about her art therapy art practice, her experience as a cultural artist, and her article.
