herself to change the mindset of the people in her own special way.
Slums in Pune being coloured under 'Misaal Mumbai', an
initiative of Rouble Nagi- a Mumbai-based artist & founder of NGO Rouble
Nagi Art Foundation; Nagi says,"I want to connect to these people through
arts. Main aim is not to colour the walls but bring a change in their
mindset"
Rouble is the founder of the Mumbai-based NGO that goes by the
name of Rouble Nagi Art Foundation. Rouble told pune-news.com that her main aim behind this project is to connect
with people. She said, "I want to connect to these people through arts.
The main aim is not to colour the walls but bring a change in their
mindset."
Rouble continued, "When I paint 20 walls here, 200 people
come & stand with me. If I go to their home as a social activist and try to
help, they'll have that speculation that who is she. So we start with
colouring, they come out of their homes, & that's when we tell them what we
want to do."
Her initiative has gone viral and Twitterati cannot stop praising Rouble and her thought behind the whole process.
