Traveling Balcaos - Coming Soon!
Panjim, Goa
2024
Traveling Balcaos is an itinerant public art installation to create conversations in the public spaces of Panjim on community, identity and belonging in the context of a rapidly changing Goa.
Goa’s traditional porch - the balcão - welcomes and brings together friends and neighbors at the entrance of its homes. In the same spirit, Serendipity festival 2024 being held over 15-22nd December invites the people of Panjim and visitors to come together through its Traveling balcãos which will move around the city, from the Kadamba Bus Stand to the Main Market, before parking themselves for the festival at the entrance of Art Park on the Promenade.
The public installation shares the diversity of the voices from across the city, connected by the common thread of migration and dualism of home. An integral part of the architecture and history of Goa, the balcão is a domestic, intimate space to sit and talk in, which the project opens up into a public space to create a local collective voice. For this project, we are collaborating with our local partner urbz which is a global collective specializing in participatory urban planning, design, governance, and architecture.
