St+Art India, IFBE, and Avid Learning present Sustainability NOW: Arts for Placemaking in Mumbai – a discussion on upscaling and sustainably optimising public spaces through art in the city and thereby strengthening the connection between people and the places they inhabit.
About
Have you taken a tour of the Bollywood Art Project in Bandra featuring quintessential truck-style murals?; experienced an outdoor music concert in one of Mumbai’s parks?; or taken a heritage walk through the recently revamped Versova Koliwada district?
Placemaking integrates the arts, design, architecture, and anthropology to uplift a place by highlighting its unique history, people, character and culture. It converts spaces into places turning them into centres of community bonding, social interaction and even tourist attractions.
Join us for a power-packed discussion with artists, changemakers, and experts on upscaling and sustainably optimising public spaces through art in the city and thereby strengthening the connection between people and the places they inhabit.
The talk is part of the ongoing Sustainability NOW series that examines the critical environmental issues of today and aims to convert audiences into changemakers for a greener tomorrow.
