Indian and international artists have been working on murals to convert a residential Delhi colony into Lodhi Art District
Mumbai-based Sajid Wajid has painted a mural in vibrant red, blue and yellow, where he celebrates feminity through the work. As does the Aravani Art Project, where 15 trans-women and volunteers painted portraits of women they worked with, and who have shaped their philosophy.
Just as we walk from Khanna Market towards Lodhi Colony’s Block 19, we see street artist H11235 at work — he has been painting a wall for the past one week. “There are two different elements right here — one is a gold fish and the other is a crushed water bottle,” says the artist from Nepal. “I want to make a comment on the river Yamuna and how human intervention is affecting it. These are two different forms of human interventions. One, of course, is pollution. Yamuna also has many non-native species that are affecting its ecosystem, and one of them is the gold fish,” he says. He is one of the 20 Indian and international artists who are in the Capital to paint murals in Lodhi Colony, converting the residential colony into an art district. Initiated by the St+Art Foundation, it is part of the urban art festival “St+art Delhi 2019”, supported by Asian Paints, that aims to present India with a unique public art district.
