Bollywood Soul Exhibition

BOLLYWOOD SOUL: A Vernacular Walk of Fame.

Hollywood has its Walk of Fame which displays its divas and heralds its heros on the pavements of Sunset Boulevard. This exhibition seeks to playfully create a Bollywood version employing local portraiture and typographic styles.

A collaboration between Meena Kadri and a local rickshaw mud-flap painter and a ‘sticker-wallah’ who cuts coloured adhesive into numbers, letters and decorative motifs to adorn vehicles. This father & son team work on the roadside in the Old City in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. Media: oil paint and adhesive on rubber.
