Stories from India: How a Delhi artist turned slum walls into canvases of hope

Delhi artist Manmouji once dreamed of becoming a cricketer. But growing up in the slums and struggling with limited resources, circumstances didn’t allow that dream to take shape.

He filled the walls of these settlements with vibrant shades of hope and imagination, creating street art, but with a purpose. His paintings tell the stories of the dreams these children carry.
