Dharavi Biennale

Project Summary

The Dharavi Biennale is a two-year process leading to an exhibitionÌýin 2015: the Alley Galli Biennale. It blends art and science to shareÌýinformation on urban health and to showcase the contribution ofÌýthe people of Dharavi to Mumbai's economic and cultural life.

TheÌýBiennale project has been organized by SNEHA (Society forÌýNutrition, Education and Health Action), an NGO working toÌýimprove the health of women and children in Mumbai's informalÌýsettlements.

With four themes - art, health, recycling and vitality -Ìýthe Biennale invites Dharavi residents to meet, educate themselvesÌýon urban health, learn new skills, and produce locally resonantÌýartworks that are authentic, honest and relevant.
