Google Station
XXL Collective collaborated with Google in December 2017 to create a custom artwork for Google’s annual conference held in New Delhi. The project was undertaken by Google India as a showcase of their annual achievements.
For the event, street artists Do & Khatra painted a canvas in the style of a vintage poster, interpreting the busiest train terminal of Mumbai - the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus. Additionally, they created a custom graffiti scooter using spray paint.

Google Cultural Institute
Google for India is a global event wherein Google launches initiatives and campaigns tailored towards Indian users. Celebrating the 5th Google For India event, XXL hosted a live art session collaborating with two great talents from India.
Shilo Shiv Suleman and the duo Do & Khatra created live canvases for the audience, bringing together cultural elements which deeply characterise India. While Shilo unravelled a piece, which narrated the history of Ayurveda, Do & Khatra used abstract iconography to create a collage of symbolic motifs such as Sitar, Mudra, the number 0, and so forth.
Those pieces celebrated India as a cultural reference for the world, as an exceptional country where traditions timelessly seep into everyday life even today.
