Lodhi’s public art milestone and India’s growing street mural movement

This cluster tracks the 10-year celebration of Delhi’s Lodhi Art District, India’s pioneering open-air public art district, as highlighted by multiple festival previews and retrospectives. Coverage explores how Lodhi’s murals have turned a residential neighborhood into a ‘concrete canvas’ and even a site of cultural diplomacy, while related pieces spotlight new large-scale wall art projects such as Khatra’s urban landscape mural in Hyderabad. Together, they show how public art festivals and street murals are reshaping cityscapes across India and drawing wider public participation in contemporary art.
