Fresh & Local | Urban Farming in Bombay

Fresh & Local is a movement to facilitate urban farming in Mumbai, India.

Started in the spring of 2010, in response to the lack of fresh and organic produce, and the lack of resources and support for urban farming in the city. The organization researches and develops best practices, design gardens and garden products, host gardening workshops and work in partnership with NGOs and individuals to set up kitchen gardens across the city. We believe that by creating replicable models of urban farming we can inspire the changes needed to improve access to quality food for all Mumbai residents.

BREATHER | short film

Breather, developed by Andrea Polli illustrates the problem of air pollution in Delhi India, where one person dies every hour from breathing complications. In this work, a common Indian car is encased in a plastic bubble that inflates and deflates at a rate similar to human breathing. Commissioned by Khoj International, New Delhi. Khoj Studios based in New Delhi sees its role as an incubator for art and ideas, artistic exchange and dialog in the visual arts. Through their programming they aim to assist and develop, forms of art such as media art, performance, video, environmental, public and community based art, sound and other experimental modes of cultural production.
