Sassoon Docks
St+art aimed to connect the areas of modern Mumbai which seem so distant from one another, yet share the same origin, and bring to light a few of the most important parts of Mumbai. Nestled at the tip of Colaba, the 142-year-old space of Sassoon Dock was transformed into an Urban Contemporary Art exhibition that remapped the DNA of the city of Mumbai.
In the format of a residency program, 30 Indian and International artists created site-specific installations, murals, audio-visual experiences, screenings, talks and curated tours in one of its abandoned warehouses, bringing to life the Sassoon Dock Art Project. This exhibition became a temporary hub within the city of Mumbai for a period of two months, attracting around 40,000 visitors from fisher folk communities to residents of the city, bringing forth another celebration of inclusivity and diversity.
