RECENT & ONGOING PROGRAMMES
Artreach for MOBILE CRECHES:
Ongoing Six Centre Volunteer Residency Series Artreach facilitators and Grantee Moumita Ghosh are currently leading six 3 day workshops at various centres across Delhi NCR- involving Mural painting, Puppet making and much more as part of Mobile Creches' 50th Year celebrations. AXIAL MARGINS, Community Arts Project: Women at the Urdu Park Night Shelter, Jama Masjid continue their creative engagement facilitated by Revue (Sreejata Roy , Mrityunjay Chatterjee) since 2015. They are making vibrant murals within the shelter space, paintings of everyday food on canvas and keeping mixed-media recipe books.
The women are homeless and support multiple children on as little as Rs. 300 a week earned from begging. Despite these odds they remain engaged with their art practice finding it offers them space for reflection and strengthens their sense of community. |
OUR FIRST PROJECT in 2010 was with the children of the New Delhi railway station who come daily to a Salaam Baalak Trust
contact point. We wanted to give their space a face lift and ‘catch their imaginations’.

"They come up the stairs, so scared in their hearts as they see the police station, then their fear disappears as
they see the paintings… they think, 'This is a place that will do something for children'."
Makaan Singh, a social worker at the contact point explains how the new children at the centre reacted to Artreach's mural.
