Established in 2017, most art pieces in the Mahim (E) Art District – India’s third open-air public art gallery, are inspired by narratives local to the region. The lineup artists spent time interacting with the locality’s populace and 6 of them employed the technique of portraiture to celebrate the region’s diverse population.
