Artefacting Mumbai
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Check out Artefacting Mumbai at www.artefacting.com
I had the pleasure of meeting these guys a couple weeks ago when I was in Mumbai. They showed me around Dharavi, the largest slum in Asia, where they have been posted for the past few months. Casey, Alex and Arne are using art to 'tell the story of a settlement, people, culture and economy, in danger of being displaced by contemporary urbanization'.
Along with checking out their murals within the community, I got to meet some of the people they befriended! Naturally we had a dance party and they showed me their best moves.. break dancing in the streets surrounding Dharavi? Yes please!
