How & why did it change?
Is street art an Indian thing? Where do you see it’s rooted in India?
What role does space play while making artworks of such huge sizes? Can you share any particular example/case study?
Borrowing from the St+artindia website, “Indian streets are very unique. They are a microcosm of the millions of diverse voices that co-exist in this vast and wonderful nation of ours.” – How do you pick the subject/theme of what to draw? Both in temporary and permanent structures.
The cut-out type of work is very dominant in the south of India. What can be learned from it and push the envelop further?
Can you share a few positives and few negatives while making this street art movement? From establishments, from art creators/lovers and general audience?
How does street art influence the aesthetics of the overall society/area/community?
You guys are also involved with the ‘Smart Cities’ program and the ‘Swachh Bharat Mission’. Can you talk more about it?
What is the long term future of the St+art movement?
