T -Shirt Painting Event by “The Community Click” Club
On the occasion of Holi festival, the vibrant festival of colors symbolizing joy, unity, and the celebration of life, “THE COMMUNITY CLICK”, a Medical Humanities Club, organized a unique T-shirt painting event for medical students held on 11th March 2025 , under the supervision Dr Chhavi Kiran Gupta professor community medicine Subharti Medical College.
The event was designed to foster creativity while bridging the gap between medicine and the humanities. The event saw enthusiastic participation from
MBBS students of the 2022, 2023, and 2024 batches, as well as two postgraduate (PG)
students who brought their muses, also acting as their models for the painting event.
The main objective of the event was to explore the intersection of medicine and the
humanities by providing students with a platform to express their creativity through T-shirt painting. The turnout was overwhelmingly positive, with students demonstrating excitement and enthusiasm, making the event a resounding success. The event was not conducted as a
competition, but instead focused on fun, inspiration, and enthusiasm. Participants were given creative, humorous, and inspirational tags, highlighting their unique contributions. All
participants and volunteers received e-certificates to recognize their involvement and efforts.
In line with the values of sustainability and eco-friendliness, the event was planned to ensure no waste was generated. The club provided the T-shirts for the participants, and in keeping with the Holi theme, they were served homemade Kanji, a traditional drink known for its probiotic and antioxidant benefits, prepared by. To promote sustainability, paper bowls made from recycled waste paper were used, and reusable plastic glasses were provided, which
could be washed and reused for future events. The event’s decor, made entirely of paper-
based materials, included handmade frills and other decorations that could be repurposed for future activities, reinforcing the eco-friendly theme.
The participants’ artwork was deeply meaningful. Several shared personal stories behind their
paintings. One participant illustrated the struggles women face during Holi, symbolizing the need for a celebration of joy for both men and women. Another painted a bird with open wings to symbolize freedom, while some took inspiration from the playful, mischievous
nature of Lord Krishna during the Holi festival. The common themes that emerged were
unity, growth, and nurturing. One painting featured intertwined plants and flowers,
representing the idea that human connection fosters healing, growth, and beauty. Another
artwork depicted a heart full of swirling dreams, signifying the intersection of love and
infinite possibilities.
A photo booth was set up where participants and attendees could capture memories of the
event. A signature board with colorful heart-shaped fingerprints allowed both students and
professors leave personal reflections, creating a lasting and interactive memory. Fun
activities such as animal dances, slow-motion dances, and a ‘drunk act’ were also organized
to entertain the muses, ensuring a lively atmosphere. Continuous music played throughout,
providing a soothing backdrop as participants immersed themselves in their artwork.
The event was further enhanced by the presence of Dr. Rahul Bansal, Dr. Surabhi Gupta, Dr. Kiran, Dr Varsha Chaudhary Dr. MoniKa Gupta, Dr. Sartaj Ahmad and many more
HODs and senior professors, who actively
encouraged and motivated the students. Their support added to the positive and motivating
environment, creating an atmosphere of inclusivity and excitement.
In conclusion, the T-shirt painting event was a beautiful fusion of creativity, culture, and
sustainability. It allowed medical students to express themselves artistically while
strengthening the connection between medicine and the humanities. The success of the event
underscores the vision of the “THE COMMUNITY CLICK” club and its commitment to promoting creative expression among future medical professionals.
