What is 100 Desi Posters?
It’s a digital and physical celebration of our desiness, limitless talent, and unique ability to make sense of life using culture. We aim to crowdsource desi art from all over the world and highlight it using social media and multi-city public exhibitions.
desi art inspires a billion minds
There have always been many Indias in India and desi art is the easiest way I know to connect us with each other.
