For over 30 artists from across India and the world, Sassoon Docks has been their canvas for the last 10 days. Come weekend, the area will transform into an experiential exhibition. In all his 33 years, in Mumbai, visual artist Sameer Kulavoor had never ventured beyond the massive entrance of Sassoon Docks. "It always seemed like an intimidating place, with its large colonial gate and a whiff in the air that wasn't too pleasant," he says about one of the oldest docks in the city, located in the Cuffe Parade neighbourhood and known mainly for its fish market. "What's surprising is that most people from the city haven't been to Sassoon Docks, which hold within them the story of Bombay's origin."
