16th April, 2008

Street graphics in India include


  • Roadside Dhabhas

  • Billboards

  • Advertisements

  • Shops including the service sector.

  • Auto rickshaws

  • Trucks, public transport and other vehicles.

  • Roadside Vendors

  • Movie Posters

A lot of these things however, are soon disappearing from the Indian streets.
- Hand painted movie posters
- Billboards
- Everything in general.

In the big cities, especially, everything is digitalized.
WHO are the people who paint all this? How do they learn this art? What is the impact of substitution of hand work with print media on these people? Is it possible for us to track them down and find out more about them?
