Stencil Artist Prateek Sethi
Event coverage included all the major news channels and a few well established art critics and connoisseurs.
Helped initiate the Wall Project, one of India’s youth movements, first Mumbai, soon in other cities too. A humble project that started out with a few enthusiastic people, is growing to be a bigger, better project. The wall project started with a blank white compund wall, with an intense burning of “something has to be done to it”. Set in an old East Indian village in Bandra, colourful with people of many talents, all hidden in their tiny abodes. It was an initiative to add visual elements of colour, form and texture to a space, to make the area more alive and generate a feeling among people who pass by it daily. Inviting more people, not just artists to come paint, and to hunt for interesting locations to paint. canvas the city!!!
