The 149-km-long Mumbai coast has been at the centre of a heated debate - forcing political parties, fisherfolk, environmentalists and activists into a perennial face-off with regards to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation's (BMC) Rs 12,000 crore Mumbai Coastal Road project (MCRP).

It has also given birth to social media movements like the 'Save Our Coast Mumbai', an Instagram account documenting the ongoing land reclamation, which has also set up a petition with over 60,000 signatories marked to Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis for responsible development. But owing to the way information spreads on social media, a lot of facts could be placed in the wrong context and manipulated as well. This is what led city-based architect and visual artist Robert Stephens to conceptualise a talk, to be delivered tomorrow at the ARTISANS' Art Gallery at Kala Ghoda, which will trace the evolution of the coastal road.
