MuseMATTERS: A walk through Bandra with Alisha Sadikot
MuseLAB
This week we joined Alisha Sadikot on a walk through the neighbourhood of Bandra. We would not like to reveal much as we would be doing injustice to the walk experience with Alisha Sadikot. We highly recommend this one. Here are some notes from our diary.
Alisha Sadikot is an independent museums and heritage education professional working to instigate critical and creative public engagement with museum collections and heritage spaces in Mumbai. Museums are her happy place. Follow her on Instagram or Twitter @alishasadikot and visit her blog at The Inheritage Project.

The Basilica of Our Lady of The Mount commonly known as Mount Mary Church. Originally built by the Portuguese Jesuits in the 16th century and rebuilt a few times thereafter.

Muse MATTERS is a series of dialogues that as a studio we shall engage in– the purpose of the dialogues is for the studio to discuss matters, ask questions, share lessons learnt and may be in the process we can make a difference. Topics discussed shall not be restricted to the field of architecture and design necessarily; they could be about an experience, a journey, a comic strip and anything in between or beyond. We will use this space to share our thoughts and blurbs.
