Mahim (E) Art District
In October 2017, the region of Mahim (E) in Mumbai became the launchpad for India’s third open-air, public art district. Over the last three years, the art district - encompassing the areas of Dharavi, Matunga Labour Camp and Shahu Nagar, has seen the creation of artworks by national and international artists who have relied on local narratives for inspiration. Since its inception, the public art gallery has sought to celebrate the East Mahim region and its people - its lifeline, with artworks conceptualised and curated to encourage the city’s demographic to both discover the area’s cultural milieu and get a chance to engage with its people.
