Phenomenon of District Art in Kala Godha Festival, Mumbai


This paper is a descriptive discourse that try to uphold the globally growing discourse of creative society in urban area where urban space, is functionally discussed more than engineered physical object. Street, district,
landmark contain more than cognitive and artistic value as conventionally understood. It molds multi-facet social relations between space and people as stake holders and participants, simultaneously or specifically for artistic,
social, religious and cultural motive. The events of Kala Godha festival is a case where urban space articulate participative and holistic designed object and in return contribute to the shaping of identity, place-making as well as awareness for environmental preservation.
