Kal Aaj Aur Kal 
Titled 'Kal Aaj Aur Kal', this art installation will immediately catch your eye because it is a tribute to childhood, imagination, and evolution of human creativity, say the artists. 

It not only has the bat and ball of cricket but also the spinning top, dice, tire and stick, board games, carrom, and even the most recent PUBG, and will definitely make you reminisce the past

On Call With Bapu
Playing on nostalgia among other aspects of art, 'On Call With Bapu' showcases the classci STD PCO phone calling booth that brings to life the old days that not only attracted the old, but also curious youngsters -- making it amongst the most popular artworks at the festival. 

The artists want you to step inside the nostalgic Mumbai phone booth, and dial history, at a time when the advanced AI technology takes over

The Last Catch 
City-based artist Parag Tandel's art installation 'The Last Catch' comes to life to capture the fragile, interdependent relationship between Koli, Mumbai's fishing community, and the ocean that sustains them

The striking artwork stands tall as it depicts a large prawn stuffed with plastic, and discarded fishing nets, hanging from a crane, like a carcass

Timeline of Being 
The 'Timeline of Being' by the Dilkap School of Design, showcases a 3D-printed human body, that narrates the evolution of human life through time

 

JiyoMeterikal
A play on the word geometrical, this art installation by artist Hetal Shukla with geometrical shapes is also among the most popular on Rampart Row as it showcases Mumbai's beloved Kaali Peeli (Black and Yellow) taxis, that have been a part of the city's cultural fabric

If you are a Mumbaikar, you will be prompted almost immediately to take a photo with the cabs in this fast-paced city, where nothing stops for anybody

Life Beyond Numbers
Using the classic geometry set with the protractor, divider, pages and more, artist Dr Sumeet Sanjay Patil's artwork 'Life Beyond Numbers' says "If we lose biodiversity, we lose the ery scale by which life is balanced"
