At Kitsters, we are always on the lookout for new art experiences happening in town, and when Mumbai’s art scene was being dominated by the ‘Liminal Gaps’ exhibit at the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre (NMACC), we couldn’t resist. 

‘Liminal Gaps’ was a contemporary visual art show exploring transitional spaces exclusively by Indian artists. Conceptual artists and art groups such as Ayesha Singh, Raqs Media Collective, Asim Waqif, and Afrah Shafiq took the center stage, exhibiting across four floors at the Art House. The exhibition was an immersive treat for the audience, moving them to experience the art through site-specific installations, interactive sonic experiences, and video games.

To complement this experiential exhibit, Kitsters partnered with MUJI to set up collaborative stalls at the NMACC. These stalls, happening weekly, conducted a variety of engaging DIY activities, including:

1. Terracotta Painting:
