Every place has an identity, but that of Dharavi is built largely on one fact — slums. So, when two youngsters go out to document the visual significance of Koliwada, its fishing village that is nestled in the middle of its bustling main roads, they return to emphasise one thing — it's just like any other village. It's warm and welcoming, filled with pops of colour, and a sense of restfulness.

Back in November, Anushka Samant and Riddhi Varma, 21-year-old interns at URBZ, a collective of urban researchers and architects, started an experiment to document the architectural language of Koliwada with their smartphones. "We'd visit it during times when people were bound to be resting or staying inside their homes, so as to not disturb anyone. When we got back to the office, urbanologist Matias Echanove loved the images and suggested they be exhibited," Samant tells us. And now, this Tuesday onwards, both Samant and Varma are set to get an audience for their first exhibition, Koliwada Charcha.
