This project was done in collaboration with Meera Lafir as part of Indianama 2018 in Bikaner House, New Delhi.
“Indianama is an inclusive platform that curates and showcases the work of multi-disciplinary artists, across boundaries. A single vision binds them all – to express india through divergent and unifying ideas/ideologies that make the country.
The street is a fascinating place. And for the artist – the poet, the designer, the visionary, it is the anvil on which much of his art is forged. The streets shape his soul and provide him with succour and inspiration. Indianama, 2018, in a sense, is an edition that is seeded in the streets of India.

It is a design project, an idea and in essence a distillation of all that is vibrant, divergent, reflective, and humorous about our inner city intersections.”

However, a colour soup would discourage customers, so we limited the palette to a handful of complimentary hues. Understated illustrations combined with a playful dot pattern keep the tone of style light and relatable.
