Mapping Mapusa Love

A vibrant town in Goa. A 100metre wall waiting like a blank canvas. An inspired artistic vision. 'Mapusa Mogi' (meaning "Mapusa lover'), the brainchild of artist Orijit Sen, is a magnificent mural in the making by Sen and other artists. One that celebrates the bustling trade town of Mapusa in myriad materials and techniques. The mega-mural opposite St Jerome's Church awaits new Mapusa lovers to help complete it.

Phase one-they call it The Centrepiece-was unveiled in December 2024. A crowdfunding campaign in August raised $30,000 (Rs 26.45 lakh) in 72 hours, which will allow another 30 metres to be painted in 6-8 months.
