Join us next weekend on a one-off, extra special visit to the Jehangir Nicholson Art Foundation & their latest exhibition, Nasreen Mohamedi: The Vastness Again and Again, curated by the wonderful Puja Vaish! The show, on view until April 30, is the first major exhibition of Nasreen’s works in Mumbai following a retrospective in 1991, the year after her untimely death. We couldn’t be more excited to dive into the incredible art, life and legacy of one of our absolute favourite artists with you! 

Bring the kids out for a morning of art, where they will look at, explore and discuss the works of 3 contemporary artists working with different themes and materials. 

Open to ages 8 and above, the 90 min session will discuss the key ideas, inspirations and invite interpretations of work by Gaurav Gupta, Tarini Sethi and Hetain Patel. 

Join AWM’s walk leaders as they chart a course through the exhilarating new art on view at Sassoon Dock, home to the Mumbai Urban Art Festival 2022-23! Together, explore Mumbai’s coolest public art installations spread across the living fishing site and inspired by the Festival’s key themes of water, community and hyper- local history!

Expect to have a friendly evening chat about arts and to refresh your minds as we end the evening at Mag St. Cafe with some snacks and a viewing of Greater Lane (reimagined artworks from some of India's best artists) presented by Greater Than Gin. Each art work at the Cafe will be paired with a specially curated cocktail.

End the year on a festive note with a specially curated walkthrough of the art installations that dot Maker Maxity and Jio World Drive.

Sign up to delve into the history of the space, the stories behind masterpieces by Indian and international artists, and gain some surprising insights into the largest public art collection on display in the city.

The 90 mins tour is followed by refreshments at SeeSaw, and a trip to The Enchanted Garden by Baro Market at JWD. 

This is THE behind the scenes you've been waiting for! Join us on a private walk through one the city's greatest cultural treasures: the art collection of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR). You may know it as a renowned centre for fundamental research and learning but we love it for the art that lines its corridors and dots its offices! The brainchild of Dr Homi Bhabha, the Institute's founder, this unparalleled collection richly represents the rising stars of the post-Independence era, including rare, unseen works by the Bombay Progressive Artists and others like Nasreen Mohamedi and Nalini Malini. Bhabha, and his successor M G K Menon, saw the art collection as an opportunity to support and showcase the very best of contemporary art in a newly independent India. Join us, and the chief archivist of the TIFR, to explore one of the best, and best kept secret, art collections in the city!

Come, join us this Friday evening for a special walkthrough of Song to Self, a new series of works by WOLF inspired by the words of 14th century Kashmiri mystic, Lal Ded. In their inimitable style, WOLF, an artistic collective in Jaipur, creates visually stunning and thought provoking pieces from scrap, waste and found discards, this time drawn specially from Kashmir. Srila Chatterjee of Baro Market  will lead this intimate walkthrough, sharing WOLF's vision and thoughts behind each of the works, that "honours ancient feminine wisdom. It leads us inwards by tuning in to the body and breath." 

We know the hike out to Borivali can feel like a safari, with the Sanjay Gandhi National Park right there! So we thought we’d make a fun, day-long trip of it, to visit and interact with remarkable artists Teja Gavankar and Pratap Morey in their studios. Two artists who look at the city and its built environment through completely different perspectives and engage with diverse materials. We’ve long admired Teja’s brick manipulations, her ability to transform everyday materials into seemingly organic, sculptural visions. On the other hand, Pratap’s fascination with the changing landscape of Mumbai led to arresting architectural drawings and collages of the contemporary world we inhabit but don’t really see.

Ever stood in front of a work of art and wondered “What am I looking at/for?” We get asked this all too often. From that simple question came this exciting collaboration between Art & Wonderment and The Art Insider! Decoding Art is a series that presents Indian art history in a conversational, narrative format. By drawing connections between works on display in the gallery, we will unpack the thoughts and ideas behind seminal modern and contemporary Indian works of art and movements. 

Taking a leap out of textbooks and traditional chronology, we want the conversation to swirl around the works in the room, building narratives, sharing histories and interpreting the art in ways that encourage personal exploration and discovery. This first session we look at the ongoing exhibition at Akara Art, weaving a story around the Indian Moderns and and how to read them!

Ruchita is one of those incredible artists who seems to do it all! From design to writing and art, Ruchita brings to her diverse practice a keen, thoughtful observation of the world around her. Do not miss the chance to join us at her studio for a peek into her zine making process.

ABOUT RUCHITA 

Ruchita Madhok is a designer, writer and artist. She is the Founder-Director of communication design studio Kahani and the Publisher of Storycity guides to Mumbai city. Trained in scenography, with degrees from National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad and Central Saint Martins, London, she harbours a passion for art, heritage and the story of human creativity. You can see Ruchita’s work on her Instagram @ruchitamadhok.

We've admired Savia Mahajan's fabulous sculptural works since we caught her first solo at TARQ way back in 2017! Her ability to transform humble clay into delicate, ethereal works is astounding. Savia's experimentation with the medium continues, exploring the vagaries of every step of the process. At her suburban studio, Savia will walk us through some of her recent works and drawings, as well as a peek into a new experimental piece!

We’ve lost track of all the times we’ve been asked about COLLECTING ART. So here’s our answer: a no holds barred conversation with the team behind TARQ. FAQs, top tips, payment options, decision making, Artist selection, why art, what art, art as investment: yup, we’ve got you covered! All this, surrounded by incredible and reasonably priced art works on special display just for you! 

Also, we’ll share our own collecting journeys (baby steps still!), and the magic of finding art that you can’t live without.

If you’ve been sitting on the sidelines wondering if you should dive into buying art, let this be your springboard!

Bring your hat, shades & sunscreen on a Sun-day trip to the beachside home and studio of dynamic artist couple Nibha Sikander and Sukhdev Rathod. Away from the chaotic city, they’ve built (literally) a home and independent, diverse practices that draw from the surrounding lush, natural landscape. 

​

We expect to get there by 11 AM followed by a light breakfast and a tour of the property and Sukhdev’s projects. We then break for a homely lunch served al-fresco before peeking into Nibha’s latest work. It’s a day-long excursion from Mumbai from about 7:30 AM to 9:30 PM depending on your chosen mode of transport so do account for that when making plans.

Join us, as we kick off a new series to take you behind the scenes and into the very spaces where artists we love, make the art we love talking about! Being Women's History Month, we decided to visit Lekha Washington's studio in Bandra, ahead of the installation of her large public sculpture at Bandra Bandstand. While we wait on the unveiling, we'll get to know Lekha's practice, motives and processes, over free-wheeling conversations and cookies. 

Join Art Walks Mumbai & The Heritage Lab for a fun evening at home, as we meet online to chat about our favourite topic (Art, of course) and a not so favourite topic - where are the women?! 

If the lack of representation of women artists any where - but especially on Wikipedia! - bothers you, join us for just one evening, and help change this a little! Our event will focus on artists from the city we call home, Mumbai!

We’ve got quite a trek planned for our last physical walks for 2021! Jump right into some stunning shows, from Isa showing Maha Ahmed and David Brian Smith, then hike over to Chemould Prescott Road for Sheetal Gattani’s solo. A cab ride later we’re at Method for WOLF’s show, then walk/ cab over to Sakshi’s new show all the way from Baroda. 

We might make a stop on the way, but we can tell this is going be one LONG walk. 

We took some time off to figure out the important stuff but now we're restless. And we NEED to see some art!

​

Join us on an exploration of 5 shows happening across the country, through their online viewing rooms and sites. We'll share the list of spaces with you closer to the date, but trust us, they're the best kind of eye candy. 

We love being back in art spaces as much as we love talking about art! And we’re sure you’ve grown tired of seeing art on a screen. 

Join us on 13 March as we walk and talk you through to 5 different spaces, discover new practices and delve into the stories around the works on display. 

“Walk” with us as we discuss the shows on view and get into details behind their existence. It’s shaping up to be quite a diverse range of practices, so get your tickets now!

The walk is a 1.5 hour exploration of between 4-5 exhibitions currently on view in Mumbai (maybe elsewhere). We place special emphasis on the ‘looking’ and ‘reading’ of individual works of art with the help of our two fearless leaders Alisha Sadikot and Nishita Zachariah, who chat and talk over each other, while making it a enjoyable way to end the working day!

Join us onboard for a sunrise sail as we dive into unforgettable, yet sometimes rarely seen, works of modern and contemporary Indian art - made in the city of Bombay/Mumbai and inspired by the ever-present Arabian Sea. 

If the lack of representation of women artists any where - but especially on Wikipedia! - bothers you, join us for just one evening, and help change this a little! While this event focusses on women artists from India, we're providing basic training to help you edit, add to or create any page on Wikipedia. 

This event is open to ALL, we'll be going over the basics, starting with creating accounts, and providing support while you navigate this exciting way of sharing information. The events on 23 and 30 March will be primarily held in English, yet we encourage other language writers to join in, and help populate Wikipedia pages in other regional languages. 

Wanted to go art hopping but didn't know where to begin? Join us on a walk to discover some of the most exciting contemporary art showing in the city. If you're an art enthusiast or a newbie, we've got you covered! We'll talk and guide you through 5 ongoing exhibitions, providing insights, context and even some interesting anecdotes about the art, and the artists who created it. Expect to spend a friendly, engaging evening chatting about art, before ending the evening with a viewing of Greater Lane paired with Greater Than Gin Cocktails at Mag St. Cafe.

On Saturday morning, 21 Jan, we're taking you to a place you might be familiar with, the Jio World Drive and Maker Maxity, to look closer (and maybe even see for the first time) and the stunning works of public art placed all around. If you're stunned, come along, we'll show you works that have been hiding in plain sight: light works that hum, buses that fly, reels that spin, and little nuggets of the site's filmy history, scattered throughout the spaces!

If you've been on our art walks, you've heard us talk about Vishwa Shroff's work as we go down staircases, through old bazaars and point up at passing buildings! She's what they call an "urban forager", looking for fragments and scenes from cities she lived in to create works that are at once familiar and poignant. Her minutely observed drawings of flooring patterns in a single building or how people inhabit their living spaces remain our favourite works. Join us on this special tour, which begins with a visit to Vishwa's ongoing solo at TARQ and then heads to her studio space for a deeper look at her practice.

It's time to book your once-a-month fun, friendly, art gallery hop and - oh my goodness - do we have a treat for you! 
Our walk begins Galerie Mirchandani + Steinruecke with stunning, evocative works by Aban Raza in her solo exhibition, There is Something Tremendous about the Blue Sky. We last saw Raza's work in a virtual exhibition during the lockdown and even just through a screen, she quickly became one of our favourite new artists! We're also so chuffed about this new mini art district that's found its home in Ballard Estate - from Mirchandani & Steinrucke we skip around the corner to Galerie Isa to see large, abstract works by German artist Gregor Hildebrandt, whose art practice is drenched equally in a passion for music. 

Finally, we weave through a labyrinth of old city streets to end Chemould Prescott Road , giving the rest of our time to one of our all time art superheroes, the artist Pushpamala N. That's enough detail for now, we think!:) 

We’re excited to announce that our second edition of Platform will showcase the work of Shyamli Singbal, an artist working with drawing and digital media, based in Panjim and Vadodara. We’ve reworked our format to focus on one artist per edition, allowing you, the viewer, to engage more intently with their practice.  

Shyamli grew up in Panjim, Goa, before completing a Bachelor’s in Fine Arts in Painting (2017) from the Faculty of Fine Arts, Maharaja Sayajirao University, Vadodara, and a post-graduation in Fine Arts (2020) from Goldsmiths University of London. 

Shyamli’s practice involves a close investigation of the worlds around her. Family and friends appear in ink and colour pencil as intimately observed portraits of the everyday. A fascination with form and found objects reveals itself in her sculptural and digital works. Most recently Shyamli is also developing a collaborative art making practice that includes zines, colouring books and exhibition making.
