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

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
