Firki (फिरकी) celebrates the colourful, diverse visual language of hand-painted signs in India’s public spaces. The project playfully captures their transient essence through multiple designed objects, highlighting voices and narratives while documenting and archiving them. Firki takes you down memory lane embedded in a cultural heritage often overlooked as everyday ephemera.
Objects here refer to the signs that are often temporal and have been replaced by more modern techniques and outcomes. Despite that, these visual elements belong to the collective memory and identity of spaces and people who navigate through them.
