Mona Lisa is a weekly newsletter about creativity and AI — what it means to make things in the age of machines. Not a tech column. One note a week, written from inside a creative practice.

(Every issue is also recorded as a voiceover — for those who'd rather listen than read.)

Hi I’m Banita 💌

I’ve spent over twelve years working as an artist and jeweller. I also lecture, which means I spend a lot of time thinking about how creativity is taught — and what that means when the tools keep changing. Before that, I trained and worked as a lawyer.

That combination shapes how I think: across disciplines, systems, worlds and modes of working.

Mona Lisa drops every Sunday. It’s a space to think, not a space to be sold to.
