SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR, St+Art India Foundation has taken the onus of<br />
interpreting our cities by creating conversations around local stories. In Delhi, they<br />
created the Lodhi Art District, the first public art district in India with more than 28<br />
street artists working to re-invigorate the iconic Lodhi Colony area. Between<br />
<strong>December</strong> 20<strong>15</strong> and March 2016, several walls between Khanna Market and<br />
Meherchand Market were turned into a spectacle – an open-air art gallery accessible<br />
to everyone. More recently, they recreated this feat in Bengaluru (October) and<br />
Hyderabad (November). In Bengaluru, they created narratives between Cubbon Park,<br />
MG Road and Majestic metro stations and also their surrounding areas, and in<br />
Hyderabad, several sites on the iconic Necklace Road came alive through murals,<br />
installations, talks, screenings and workshops.<br />
