Manasvini is a fine artist and illustrator from Bangalore, India. A practicing artist for over a decade, she works in traditional media to explore, unpick, and decipher her experience of the world.

For Radical Art Review's seventh issue, Solitude, we share with you one of her zines, Expressions of History. In this zine, a philosophical monologue weaves throughout vibrant, pulsating forms which rearrange and transfigure across the pages. Honest and immediate, Expressions of History creates a disorientating and intimate experience for the reader.
