The works explore aspirational and challenging themes, from climate change to trans equality, using a wide range of striking styles and mediums.

As a solo female traveler, it was really fun to have someone to take some pictures of me with the art, and I felt 100% safe all the time. I can't recommend this tour enough!!! I also enjoyed the chai so much, I've booked in for the chai master class as well 😄 mmmmm”

“This was a very rich experience. Faizy was an excellent guide and I learned not only about the origins of the art project, but also about the evolving social and political climate of Delhi. The art itself was thought-provoking, and I particularly enjoyed the exchange of ideas and sharing what each work evoked for us. The lunch was delicious and the conversation was free-flowing about art, literature, active and responsible citizenship and many topics in between. Thank you so much Faizy!”
