About This Project
Summary
The Bus Stop is an interactive mobile art installation, co-created with women from Bengaluru’s informal workforce. Symbolic of countless unheard voices united by a simple ask - a bus stop in the neighborhood. Touring 4 informal settlements without a bus stop, it served as a community platform to engage in crucial discussions with decision-makers, civil society, and media, on the urgent need for better, accessible public transport and the essential connections for underserved communities.
Goals & Objectives
The low carbon transition in Bengaluru is equitable & inclusive ensuring participation, especially from the informal workforce. Participatory creative approach fosters ownership and pride among informal workforce women, boosting confidence to communicate their needs to external stakeholders.
