St+art 2014, Mumbai : Bandra

Al the action from Mumbai's first Street Art Festival

The St+Art Mumbai festival was organised in Mumbai from November - December, 2014 which brought down artists from across the country and the world to Mumbai for a street art festival. The festival started in the suburb of Bandra which is a vibrant and culturally active part of the city. The winding lanes and empty walls of Pali Village became the canvasses for the artists.

"“Spaces like these are rare in a large, growing metropolis like Bombay and are often threatened. And the threat is not that somebody will come and destroy it, but they are essentially being bought out. And this being one of the entrances to Pali Village -  almost like a threshold between two different set of urban's, the idea was to create a visual metaphor for this confrontation, so the idea of a battle came about.”

- Amitabh Kumar"

Akacorleone (Por) works a lot with characters and typefaces and was heavily influenced by the hand painted signages he saw across Mumbai. He painted a piece on the facade of an iconic bakery in the Bandra region known as the Jude bakery, and used a reference to St. Jude, the patron saint of lost causes in his piece
