Mumbai’s urban landscape has undergone a vivid transformation thanks to the rise of street art. What began as sporadic graffiti has evolved into sprawling murals with social messages, most prominently showcased in areas like Kala Ghoda and Sassoon Dock.
The Kala Ghoda Art Precinct annually hosts the Kala Ghoda Arts Festival, bringing together artists from across India to create public installations. The streets come alive with interactive art that often reflects Mumbai’s cultural complexity and cosmopolitanism.
Meanwhile, Sassoon Dock, an active fishing port, has become an unexpected art hub. Thanks to the St+art India Foundation, the 142-year-old dock was transformed into an open-air museum. Artists from around the globe contributed large-scale works addressing themes like climate change, migration, and urban life.
Street art in Mumbai isn’t just decoration—it’s commentary, resistance, and storytelling. Local artists like Tyler and Baadal Nanjundaswamy have become cult figures, blending satire and visual poetry into walls, flyovers, and buildings.
