About the Event
Avid Learning in collaboration with Goethe-Institut/Max Mueller Bhavan, Mumbai, Kala Ghoda Association, St+art, Walkitecture, 47A Design Gallery and X & Zero
What happens when a slice of 18th-century Portugal collides with 21st-century Mumbai? The answer lies in Khotachiwadi. This urban village, packed with centuries of heritage in its narrow, winding lanes, defies the city's vertical ambitions.
Continuing Avid Learning's journey through the ‘Precincts’ series, our fourth destination brings us to Khotachiwadi, a vibrant microcosm of the city’s cultural legacy. Its iconic wooden balconies, stained glass windows, and sloping roofs beautifully reflect the architectural fusion of native Maharashtrian, East Indian Christian, and Portuguese influences. Once a tranquil village, Khotachiwadi has transformed into a creative haven, attracting artists, designers, and cultural enthusiasts while preserving the spirit of old Bombay with its unique blend of tradition and modernity.
Join us as we explore the heart of Khotachiwadi, where the confluence of histories, cultures, and communities comes alive.
Uncovering Urban Legacies: Stories of Bombay's Precincts - Khotachiwadi. The engaging panel discussion with Archaeologist and Academic André Baptista, Artistic and Cultural Curator Srila Chatterjee, and Fashion Designer James Ferreira will explore the evolving history of this storied neighborhood. The conversation will be moderated by Principal Architect, Nikhil Mahashur & Associates and Founder, Walkitecture Nikhil Mahashur.
