ABOUT US
Art & Wonderment* aims to broaden, and deepen, art conversations in the city. Our walks foster new ways of seeing, sharing, and thinking about the art on view in Mumbai. With over 10 years of experience working together to build public audiences for art, we design and lead experiences for absolutely everyone.
At AWM, we know that art is for everybody. With just the right amount of context and clues, a little encouragement and lots of different opinions, our walks make space for a growing conversation on modern and contemporary art.
In addition to physical gallery visits, artists studio visits, behind the scenes tours, and more, for audiences in Mumbai, we also offer virtual art ‘walks’ and young-artist studio visits, so you can join us from anywhere!
We were Art Walks Mumbai, the same as before, just with more art for everyone!

Her practice focuses on broadening art, museum and heritage conversations through the Inheritage Project (since 2015) and Art Walks Mumbai. Formerly, Alisha was Curator, Education & Outreach, at the Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Mumbai City Museum where she helped develop the Museum’s popular learning programme.
