In March 2011, artist Julius Macwan founded Last Ship, an artist residency studio in Bandra’s bustling Chuim Village, off Khar Danda Road. Over a year has passed, and Macwan is excited about what’s in store in the coming months.

“On August 10, our current three artists-in-residence will present their projects. It’s also the day when we shall launch my art school — the Julius Macwan Institute, in Mumbai, adjoining Last Ship. We will have Tanja Verlak from Slovenia, and Sahil Mane from Mumbai as our next photographer-artists while filmmaker artist Natasha Mendonca joining us in September,” he says.
