“Misaal Mumbai” is an initiative by Artist Rouble Nagi. It started after Paint Dharavi in 2018 in Mumbai. Soon became Misaal India working across the country. 

 

The main aim of Misaal Mumbai is not to only colour/beautify the walls. The main aim is to connect to people through Art, bring a positive change in their mindset. Educating through art about the importance of Children Education, empowering Women, creating Job opportunities for Youth, Cleanliness, Hygiene, Sanitation, Waste Management- say No to Plastic & Children health in Slums & Villages. 

​

Colours will fade in a few years but the positive change we want to bring in peoples mind will stay forever & encourage many more.

 

 We will be doing this with the help artists, locals, and residents. We have trained some of the younger volunteers from art colleges in painting workshops and ended up employing students volunteers to join the initiative.

 

The result will be an explosion of rainbow hues that would be visible from far away, stretching from one dwelling to the next in a wave of unexpected energy.

It is a quick way to create visual impact. Our projects will also employ people and give them a sense of ownership over the artworks they create in their own community while improving the condition of their houses.

 

Colourful surroundings will change the lives of the local community. The main goal is to give life to the slum and keep it clean and hygienic. Everything will be bright and colourful. We merely want to create interventions, that hopefully ignite some other change. 

 

In the end, we hope our Project “ MISAAL MUMBAI” will help others to set up projects of their own, be it Mumbai or anywhere else in India. Its the first slum painting initiative in India. We have painted and repaired more than 1,50,000 plus homes to date and are currently working in over 163 slums and villages across India.
