About Featured
Because this art lives in public spaces, it breathes and changes. Some murals stay for years, while others, like paste-ups or experimental graffiti, might fade or get painted over in days. We track these shifts so you can catch the art while it is fresh, rather than showing up to a blank wall.
When we talk about street art in Mumbai, we aren't just pointing you to pretty pictures. We are looking for the Sholay truck art in heavy traffic, the Sassoon Dock murals that celebrate our Koli community, and the rebellious hip-hop graffiti tucked away in Mahim gullies.
How to Experience It
You can hunt these down using our private digital map, which pinpoints over 40 active locations. We know exactly where the best light hits the wall for your photos, and we know which roads are worth walking. If you prefer a deep dive, we run guided walks in Bandra and Mahim that take you into private lanes tourists usually miss.
Pro Tip
This collection is your starting point. It covers the major hitters, but keep an eye on our feed for the temporary stuff. If you see a new piece, tag #StreetArtMumbai. We want to keep this map alive. Whether you are a local or just visiting, this is the raw, unfiltered vibe of the city. No galleries, no velvet ropes, just pure Mumbai.
Street Art Mumbai
We are a group of locals obsessed with the walls that breathe. We started this project because Mumbai's art scene was hiding in plain sight, and someone needed to archive it before it vanished.
