The COVID 19 pandemic forces us to find new ways to work and connect with our communities. Associate Professor of Drawing at Herron School of Art and Design Anila Agha is also an internationally acclaimed visual artist and currently has work in a show in Taiwan. She’s not sure how long it will be there, because travel restrictions won’t allow the gallery owner to ship it back.

From WFYI's Arts and Culture Desk, Jill Ditmire spoke by phone with Agha about adjusting to the new normal in life and art.
