Spontaneous workshopping through a 10-day-long Exhibition featuring community projects as part of the ABCD of Dharavi Koliwada

Koliwada Charcha is a week-long event with an interactive exhibition format, residents who visit will give feedback and comments about the 4 interventions planned for their neighbourhood. These interventions were identified by speaking with various stakeholder groups from Dharavi Koliwada, including the Dharavi Koli Jamat. The projects act as triggers to start thinking and strategising about an alternative development model for Koliwada, as part of the Action Based Comprehensive Development plan for Koliwada, or the ABCD. 

Koliwada's are fishing hamlets in Mumbai city and unlike most settlements, they extend beyond terrestrial boundaries. The waters of rivers, creeks and seas, all form part of an amphibious habitat that is integral and deeply familiar to the Kolis.
