Seven artists, armed with art supplies, meet at a Carter Road coffee shop. They split into pairs and start painting imageries of flowers and choker neckpieces, using each other's body parts as canvases. Guided by body-painting artist Kim Kaul, they learn how paint feels on the skin and how colouring a body part needn't be in patches. She elaborates by using her entire face as a canvas. Next, Shanaya Tata, a 24-year-old artist who works with Humans Of Bombay, asks a question: If a woman who struggled with an eating disorder in her childhood tells you her story, how will you interpret it on her body? The artists suggest various images — an artwork of a child holding a heart or fragments of a body pieced together as a strong human form.
