About this audio guide
This guide to the Lodhi Art District in Delhi follows the St+art India Foundation's 2015 arrival in a 1940s government housing colony, and co-founder Thanish Thomas's slow work of winning residents' permission wall by wall before a single mural went up. You'll hear about artists from Poland, Australia and Madhya Pradesh who each brought their own visual language to these concrete blocks, and the collaborations they built with the people who live behind them. It follows how residents who once walked past unseeing became the district's informal guides.
