The Mumbai Urban Art Festival (MUAF) is a three-month long multiarts festival that takes on a "city-scale endeavour which (will) include landmark murals, experiential exhibitions, immersive installations and public programming across key venues."
Organised by St+art India Foundation together with Asian Paints, the festival has taken place across several locations in Mumbai, including Sassoon Docks and the AP Arthouse. MUAF encourages the public to engage and experience the art and the stories it brings forth instead of merely observing it.
Showcasing the work of more than 60 national and international artists to a wide range of audiences in unexpected spots, the festival aims to "create a dialogue on pressing issues with regard to future cities". Some of the artists to have participated in the festival include Aashti Miller from Mumbai, Ad Minoliti from Argentina, Filthy Luker from the UK, Graphic Surgery from the Netherlands and H11235 from Nepal. Even though entry to the Mumbai Urban Art Festival is free, the guided walks and workshops are priced at a nominal fee.
