Hanif Kureshi, the creator of India’s first art district in Delhi, passed away at the age of 41 after battling cancer. He co-founded St+art India in 2013, a not-for-profit organization aimed at bringing art to public spaces, making it accessible to everyone. Kureshi’s work transformed Delhi’s Lodhi Art District into a hub of modern street art, reflecting contemporary culture. His vision was to take art out of galleries and into the streets, making it democratic and visible to all. Kureshi’s legacy lives on through the vibrant murals that now adorn the streets of Lodhi Art District, showcasing the power of public art in urban spaces.
