One of the first artworks in St+art’s Ukkudam Art District in Kovai is this collaboration  between artists Jeevananthan and Munir Bukhari. This mural in Kovai reinterprets the slowly diminishing tradition bringing the lineage of poster-making to a contemporary fold. Located in a TNSB colony - a resettlement site, also provokes reflection on the concept of movement in general of social creatures - animals and humans alike.

IIT Delhi -Project Lotus

New Delhi, 2016

The Barapulla Project was a collaboration between the Delhi Development Authority, Kingdom of the Netherlands and XXL Collective. The job was commissioned to us to initiate the first steps of ‘Project Lotus’ - a collaboration between the governments of India and the Netherlands for treatment of sewage, making it fit for healthy reuse. Artist Munir got together with  artist duo Do & Khatra to paint two pillars of the Barapulla flyover where the research center has been set.  As an ode to nature and to this joint effort, a tulip and a lotus - the national flowers of the two countries respectively, have been catpured by the artists. Those magnified flowers with their soft hues aim to empower the viewer with motivating thoughts towards a better future for our environment.
