The Cutout Project

Inspired by the larger than life cutout poster culture in Tamil Nadu and neighbouring states, St+art envisions a series of 8 portraits of local Goan people spread across Goa - greeting people on their way from the airport to the city. The idea is to celebrate local Goan personalities through a medium which was only restricted to famous personalities. These 40ft high cutouts have been painted by Bollywood poster artists from Mumbai. Celebrated at one point, these artists have lost their livelihood with the arrival of digital printing.
