We think of art in form of Mural as instrument of liberation, freedom of speech, educational, revolution for a social change. Through this project we want to turn all common spaces within our campus into a open gallery with each wall signifying freedom of expression with a social message. Post covid organizing this camp we wish to bring interested art lover’s together to collectively/individually demonstrate their creativity and transform our walls.
