The St+art India Foundation has opened an art space called the Art House. Buildings, scaffolding, tree trunks, and walls in Mumbai have all received a new coat of paint.
This has resulted in the docks seeming like a kaleidoscope.
Important details

This year marked the beginning of a new art project that would take place at the Sassoon docks.
The project aspires to revive the historic history of the ports, which are 142 years old.
The purpose of the art project is also to educate people about the need of protecting the ocean and its inhabitants through storytelling.
A great number of artists and basically anyone who is interested in self-expression via art has collaborated to paint murals.
The portraits of a number of dockyard fisherwomen are depicted in the work titled "Humanity".
The dockyard fisherwomen's expressions reveal a range of feelings, including patience, happiness, and disappointment.
An unidentified piece of artwork created by ten artists is displayed on the walls of another structure on the port known as the barf karkhana or ice factory.
