WALLS THAT RECLAIM IDENTITY

The pillars of the Vyasarpadi flyover bear colourful strokes of history belonging to the area. Amid greenery, they carry stories of resilience, achievements, and of personalities who served and protected them

CHENNAI, known for having India's largest panoramic wall mural in Indira Nagar, Adyar, continues to prove that art is no longer restricted to paper and canvas. It now takes hold of streets, bridges, and often neglected public spaces, transforming them into galleries that carry the stories of the city's lesser-spoken. The Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) has been utilising this tool to beautify areas across the city. St+art Foundation, an NGO, took this to Kannagi Nagar and Nochi Kuppam. The latest addition to this growing culture of new-age storytelling is the mural series on the pillars of the Vyasarpadi flyover.
