In 2016, over cups of coffee, Delhi-based artists Kunel Gaur and Sharon Borgoyary started a casual discussion on wanting to do something around Independence Day, especially in the sphere of design. Like them, most contemporary artists were of the opinion that the art related to this historic day is rigidly patriotic and not fit for the present age. This led to the birth of Indianama, an art project that saw 69 Indian artists living within the country and abroad, interpret the map of India in a way that appealed to them in terms of the design and the concept, where each picked a different time period from the country's history as the basic research theme.
