Delhi is a city of ironies. It’s dotted with locales where the urban meets the rural. Shahpur Jat is one such amalgamation. Once the boutiques and galleries entered the fray we stopped calling it gaon and started calling it ‘urban village’ instead. But if you see past the masquerade, it’s still the same place.
Earlier this year, a few international and local artists organized themselves and started the ‘St.ART Delhi 2014’ project. They chose specific places in Delhi, particularly in and around Shahpur Jat, and started painting. They faced queries from many curious locals, most of them not familiar with the concept of public art.
