Kannagi Nagar _ Chennai _ Art transformation
Kannagi Nagar in Chennai - one of the biggest resettlement sites in India - is in the midst of a colourful makeover. Buildings that were once painted uniformly in conventional white and yellow are today coming alive with vibrant murals, thanks to the efforts of St+art India Foundation. According to The Hindu, the foundation has collaborated with Asian Paints, Greater Chennai Corporation and Chennai Smart City Limited to transform Kannagi Nagar into Chennai's first art district and engage with the community.
The project, due to be completed by March, will feature the works of 16 national and international artists on the large facades of Kannagi Nagar.
Kannagi Nagar is one of the largest slum resettlement sites in the country, home to 80,000 people. Its colourful transformation makes its India's fifth art district.
