Natasha Sharma, Community Design Agency and Govandi Arts Festival
In this masterclass, Natasha Sharma, Co-founder and Curator of the Govandi Arts Festival, who also leads Public Art and Design programmes at the Community Design Agency, shares how abandoned spaces in Mumbai’s Natwar Parekh Colony were reclaimed as community-led environments for children and caregivers. Drawing from eight years of work in Govandi, the session shows why better childhoods mean reimagining the whole neighbourhood, not just designing spaces for children.
