There’s been a sudden burst of colour and art amongst the streets of our cities, thanks to the insanely creative talent behind St+art India Foundation (meant to be pronounced as Start India). We’re spotting their artwork in Delhi and Mumbai, and now they are adding Bengaluru and Hyderabad to their list of tag spots.
We’re still catching our breath from their totally #lit Delhi edition, held earlier this year. St+art brought together street artists from all over the world to tag several walls between Khanna Market and Meherchand Market, transforming Delhi’s Lodhi Colony into India’s first public art district. Pulling some strings, they also hosted #WIP—The Street Art Show—where they featured works from twenty-five Indian and international artists on 100 shipping containers, transforming the ICD (Inland Container Depot at Tughlakabad) into a walk-through installation (and a space for a range of alternative art like poetry slams, live musical performances and b-boy jams).
Namma Bengaluru got its own St+art touch through the month of October as twelve prolific Indian urban artists, along with four influential international artists, interpreted the city via murals, installations, performances, talks and screenings.
St+art begins work in Hyderabad and we can’t wait to see all the gorgeous murals and super-quirky ideas they’ve got in store for us.
It’s obvious we’re huge fans of their work, but it’s worth seeing for yourself. Click to follow them on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter to get involved: simply spot a St+art masterpiece, take a photo, and tag them. Don’t forget to tag us too!
