Street art is transforming Delhi in colourful ways, by dreadnatty on Feb 26, 2016 23:14:22 GMT 1, An annual street art festival is transforming Delhi's public spaces in colourful ways, with the Indian capital getting the country's first open-air art district.
Now in its fourth edition, the St+art festival has been changing the city's visual landscape over the last two months. It has brought together 26 Indian and international artists. The resulting murals presents a diverse range of styles, from abstract to surrealism, super-realism, calligraphy and Indian folk art.
"We had a vision of a city in which you can walk around and art plays a fundamental role for everyone and not just a few people who go into art galleries," curator Giulia Amrogi told Mashable. Amrogi is part of the St+Art India Foundation, a non-profit venture that has been trying to make art more accessible since the last few years.
This year's festival has chosen two very different locations. The first is the Lodhi art district, an open-air gallery with over 25 murals in central Delhi's posh Lodhi Colony. The second exhibition is called Work in Progress, is at the Inland Container Depot in the eastern edge of the city, which also happens to be Asia's largest dry port. The artists have painted over 90 containers at the busy site, where over 2,000 trucks transport goods every day.
