Background: More than half of Mumbai's people live in vibrant localities described by the loaded word slum. A previous Wellcome Trust Award supported Dekha Undekha (Seen and Unseen), a project in which mentor artists and local participants worked together to create a multimedia installation. Held in Dharavi, the city's most well-known informal settlement, Ghari/Ghar pe/At homewas an exhibition about health framed within a virtual home. Big idea: A 33-month programme, the Dharavi Biennale builds on this success. We want to give emerging local artists the opportunity to consolidate their conceptual, practical and leadership skills, bring in new participants, engage more deeplywith health issues, and emphasize sustainability. A series of standalone activities (Artboxes) within the whole will involve about 200 participants. The overarching theme will be recycling: artworks will use recycled materials and will address the health effects of recycled behaviours. Plan: In Year 1, we will build skills and consensus and conduct specific art workshops. In Year2, we will plan and then mount the Dharavi Biennale, an event that brings together multimedia work in an exhibition, performances, screenings and site-specific installations. We estimate a direct audience of 3000. In Year 3, we will emphasize participant autonomy and sustainability. Subgrants over the project cycle will support emerging artists in developing their own activities.
