Standing tall in a leafy Colaba lane, the quaint old Sugra Manzil houses a sea of new possibilities. Is it a flat? Is it a gallery? We wonder, as we climb up a dark, wooden staircase to reach Chemould Shift — a brand new addition to the city’s artscape. A flurry of activity — opening day prep, hair and make-up, finishing touches — greets us at the flat-turned-art space, like we’re inside someone’s home. And yet, the high-ceilinged walls, stained-glass windows and a long running balcony offer a quiet calm that lets artist Vinita Mungi’s eclectic sculptures speak. We later learn from co-founder Atyaan Jungalwala that her family briefly resided at the flat, which is the first outpost for the travelling art programme that launched this week.
