FESTIVALS
FOUNDATION
The St+art Delhi festival 2015 witnessed the inception of the idea of the Lodhi Art District – with two artworks being created. The pedestrian-friendly lanes of Lodhi Colony hosted Japan-born street art legend Lady Aiko who painted a mural of Rani Laxmi Bai - a fearless warrior princess who stands as a symbol of women empowerment for the country. At the same time Chinese artist DALeast visually articulated the concept of ‘Order in Chaos’ in an Indian context.
Different areas in the capital became sites for artworks by national and international artists who all created large scale murals ranging from conceptual to the visually stunning. Spanish street art legend Okuda created an iconic piece in Khan Market working with his signature colourful geometric patterns, while two walls in Connaught Place became the setting for Thai artist Rukkit’s artworks. German artist 1010 also created a mesmerising portal at the School of Planning and Architecture.
