About: The Bindu Art School uses art to transform the lives of leprosy affected people. By painting and selling pictures, the artists attain financial independence without the discrimination of receiving alms, and support similar people with their income. Drawing from intense experiences, students produce impressive paintings, tinged with a rare type of beauty. Founded by the Austrian Multimedia Artist Werner Dornik and Indian social activist Padma Venkataraman, the schools opened in 2005 in Bharatapuram, South India, and in 2011 in Sarnath/Varanasi. Exhibitions took place in India, the USA, Great Britain, France, Austria, Croatia and Germany.
