Photo Update: Kala Ghoda Arts Festival 2016

Unified by Diversity

This is the second consecutive year I got an opportunity to visit Kala Ghoda Arts Festival and was thrilled with the art installations. I visited Rampart Row on the second day of the festival, and in spite of being a Sunday morning, there were crowds for each of the 54 art installations.

Here then, is the Kala Ghoda Art Festival (KGAF) 2016, through my lens.

This is a typographic installation, s symbol to represent the city of Mumbai. This public installation is devised as a monument of love dedicated by the citizens of Mumbai to the city as a mark of their undying love for each other.

Food For Thought

To raise a simple yet, serious question through the medium of art. The artist is asking a question he struggles to find an answer to.  Not only in recent times, but all throughout history, we have seen conflicts arise due to a certain perceived notion of religion and our belief attached to it. As we grow older, our belief system becomes more rigid, we become more righteous, and we start imposing our views on others. Sometimes, we go so far that we become violent imposers. As none of the religions propagate violence, we all should think about this question before we act!

Then, there were the other exhibits, all equally interesting….  A fish out of water, Horse etc etc.

I look forward to see KGAF in the coming years with more great art.
