Peering at his pizza from behind golden-rimmed spectacles, Cai is a magician and a mathematics wizard. The autistic teddy bear, who sits at one head of a table at Colaba gallery æquo, always has a trick or two up his spunky dinner jacket sleeves. Ray, the dog, has traded his hockey jersey for a velvety waistcoat with satin stitchwork. Max is a rapper, who brings snazz to the table, in a dapper chequered suit, a cross-stitch tie, and of course, jumbo headphones. Norah, the cat, is a visually impaired dancer, who taps away to the sound of music. They, along with Maya, the marine biologist, Mario, the chef, and Leo, the bunny, are the Moonchildren — life-sized dolls hand-crafted out of scrap fabric by women artisans. Among them all is an empty seat — for you. Pull up the chair, dress yourself up in a cape or a hat, and dig into the feast-y chatter on inclusivity that will kick off tomorrow.
