Mapping Mumbai in the times of Ambedkar
[2018]︎︎︎ Project funded by Columbia Global Centre and organised / executed with Kamla Raheja Design Cell
︎︎︎ Team: Rohan Shivkumar, Hussain Indorewala, Ginella George, Shirish Joshi, Vinit Nikumbh, Naveeda Naik, Vinit Dharia, Sabari Pandian
The project looked at mapping the Architecture and builtscape of Mumbai in 1920’s, reflecting the socio political currents that revolved around the Ambedkarite revolution and dalit resistance movement in the city. The idea was to study how space deals with identity politics, and map the various ways in which, the presense of certain knowledge systems, ideologies, principles and hierarchies is reflected in the architecture that is inhabited by the people.
