Ordinary People, Extraordinary Art.

Like last year, I visited the Kala Ghoda Arts Festival  this year too. Here are some interesting displays I clicked.
Taken on my Canon EOS 1100D camera.
 For more pictures of the Kala Ghoda Festival please check out my FB album


A skull in wood

This was a display labelled "Shoe in a Metro", made totally out of paper.  A bit of a play on a well known shoe shop called Metro shoes.

A simulation of plastic rain . Something we are destined to suffer from, if we go on throwing these bottles everywhere after quenching our thirst.  You needed to walk through this exhibit....

A giant fish, made entirely out of waste CD's.

I bet even the Vespa scooter designers could not have dreamed this up.  Converted to a bee.....





The famous Mumbai dabbawalla. Bringing you closer to your food. Actually vice versa.  


Another frightful skull made from all kinds of e-waste, produced in Mumbai in large quantities.


A massive pair of glasses, to make you see life more clearly.  And sometimes, some other lenses block your vision.  Displaying Bollywood faces.  What Mumbai is sometimes about...


A decorated mirror with a message, on a special bicycle display....
 

Some more recycled art


Rajasthani artists singing for the puppet show  in progress


A typical dabbwalla lunchbox with handle etc, made entirely out of cans.


A tableaux depicting a burning problem in society : Female Infanticide


Food !


The many colors of Ganpati


With the prayers inscribed

Mobiles  made and marketed by NGO's

Artists doing portraits outside the Jehangir Art Gallery. Displayed  on the sidewalk fence.


Yum!
