For this edition of Across Borders, we look at how Singapore has appeared in the St+art archive through a series of exchanges between artists, cities and public spaces.

The conversation began with Tan Zi Xi (Tan Zi Xi)
at Sassoon Dock in Mumbai in 2017, before moving in the other direction through St+art projects in Singapore in 2018. In 2019, Lodhi Arts Festival brought a dedicated Singaporean presence to Delhi, with Sam Lo (Sam Lo), Yip Yew Chong (Yip Yew Chong), Yok & Sheryo (Yok & Sheryo) and others transforming one lane into a meeting point between two urban cultures.

The exchange has continued beyond Delhi. Dreams from the Futures brought Tina Fung (Tina Fung) and Osheen Siva (𝕺𝖘𝖍𝖊𝖊𝖓 𝕾𝖎𝖛𝖆) together in Chennai in 2022, while Yip Yew Chong returned to India with St+art Kovai in Ukkadam in 2024.

Seen across these moments, Singapore is less a single chapter in the archive than an ongoing conversation: between familiar streets and new contexts, everyday life and public art, and the different ways cities can be seen through the eyes of those who inhabit them.

Stay tuned as we continue this collaboration!

Across St+art projects, women artists have used the urban landscape to make their bodies, labour, memory and identity visible at a scale that demands recognition. From Lodhi Art District to Mahim Art District, these works become part of the everyday spaces we move through, bringing often-overlooked experiences into the centre of the city’s visual landscape.

Each work is created through a long-standing collaboration between artists, communities, and partners across cities, reflecting an ongoing engagement with who gets to occupy public space and what becomes possible when it opens to different voices.

As we revisit these works, tag a woman artist whose work deserves more space in the city.

| Japan on the Wall 🇯🇵

For this edition of Across Borders, we look back at four Japanese artists whose works became part of St+art’s evolving public art archive in India.

In 2016, Lady Aiko was among the first international artists to intervene in Lodhi, creating Rani Lakshmibai at a moment when the Art District itself was still taking shape. That same year, Suiko brought his graffiti-led visual language to the neighbourhood through The Lotus, reworking a familiar Indian motif through his own graphic vocabulary.

In 2019, Yoh Nagao returned to Lodhi with The Light Fort, translating his layered, collage-like practice onto the city wall. The same year, as part of St+art Goa 2019, TWOONE created Bright Future in Taleigao, responding to the local landscape through a composition centred on the cow and its surrounding ecology.

Seen together, these works trace different moments of exchange between Japanese artistic practices and Indian contexts, from Lodhi’s formative years to later interventions across Delhi and Goa.

Across Borders looks at how artists from around the world see and show us their India, one wall at a time.

Two years ago today, we lost Hanif Kureshi (Hanif Kureshi), an artist, mentor, friend, and one of the founding forces behind India’s street art movement.

Hanif laid the foundation for so much of what St+art India Foundation, Gallery XXL, XXL Collective and Guerrilla Art & Design are today. His vision, values and spirit became part of the very base on which we continue to build.

As a team, we carry that foundation forward, evolving it, building upon it, and keeping his vision alive through everything we do.

Today, and every day, we carry his legacy forward. ❤️

What happens when living traditions are imagined at the scale of a city wall?

Across our projects, scale has opened different possibilities. In Lodhi, Rakesh Kumar Memrot drew on Gond art to speak about disappearing animal habitats, while Bhajju Shyam (Bhajju Shyam) brought his distinct Gond imagination to Dilliwaale. At Sassoon Dock, Mayur and Tushar Vayeda’s (V A Y E D A B R O T H E R S) Ways of Water carried the Warli visual language into conversation with the sea and its interconnected life. At the same dock, Bhil artist Gangu Bai [no verified handle found] and Kukatja artist Miriam Baadjo created a dialogue between two distinct traditions, joined through their relationships with land, memory and storytelling.

These are living, evolving visual languages, carried forward by artists who continue to interpret their worlds through them. At city scale, they encounter new sites, materials, collaborations and audiences, while remaining rooted in the communities and knowledge systems from which they emerge.

Swipe through four moments from the St+art archive where living traditions found new expression across the walls of the city.

Borders | Poland on the Wall

Our association with Polish artists began in 2014, during some of St+art’s earliest projects in India.
M-City (m-city / mariusz waras) participated in This Is Not Street Art in Delhi, bringing his stencil-based study of cities, machinery and systems into our early exhibition archive. That same year, Seikon (Robert SEIKON) joined Magma Vol. 1 in Bandra, responding to Mumbai through geometry, line and architectural form.

The association continued at the Lodhi Art Festival in 2019 with NeSpoon (NeSpoon). Drawing from handmade lace, she translated a form connected to domestic craft and inherited knowledge onto a neighbourhood wall. In 2026, Pener (Bartek Świątecki) added another chapter through an abstract composition shaped around the architecture of Lodhi Colony.

Together, they trace an association built across time, cities and artistic languages, and show how cultural exchange develops through continued encounters in public space.

Which country archive should we open next?

to Letters for Lodhi by Singaporean duo The Yok & Sheryo (Yok & Sheryo ), created during the Lodhi Art Festival 2019. Taking cues from vintage Indian matchbox labels, the artists drew upon one of the country’s most overlooked graphic archives.

Across the mural, words such as justice, equality, health and fortune appear like public instructions, echoing the moral messages found in railway stations, buses and government campaigns. Then, tucked among these civic ideals, is the wonderfully ordinary reminder to call your mom.

At its centre sits the Gupt Dwar, or secret passageway, guarded by two cats. Imagined as a portal to health and fortune, it turns the wall into something between a talisman, a public notice and a neighbourhood puzzle.

The mural stands at Block 16 in Lodhi Colony as part of Singapore Lane, a collection of works by Singaporean artists. Stay tuned as we revisit more projects from Singapore Lane!

Across India, every few kilometres can bring a different language, landscape, tradition, craft, ecology or way of life. Our streets carry centuries of memory alongside cultures that continue to grow, shift and find new expression every day.

It is this abundance that makes India so difficult to capture in a single image, and so beautiful to keep discovering.

Over the years, we have had the privilege of painting across this country, creating murals that draw from the people and places around them.

Together, these walls offer glimpses of an India seen through many eyes and painted by many hands.

This Independence Day, we celebrate the many stories, identities and imaginations that continue to shape an independent India.

Happy Independence Day. 🇮🇳

Sahil Vasudeva — Live at Lodhi
(.vasudeva)

🗓️ 1 March 2026
⏰ 7:00 PM onwards
📍 Block C2, Lodhi Art District

As part of the Dilate All Art Spaces closing weekend, Sahil Vasudeva brings a cinematic live piano experience to the heart of Lodhi.

Reimagining the piano through synthesizers, atmospheric sound design, layered beats and harmonium, Sahil crafts a genre-defying sonic narrative shaped for public space. The performance moves between classical structure and contemporary experimentation, unfolding in dialogue with the murals and the architecture around it.

An evening where sound meets street and the district becomes a living stage.
