Mumbai:Think of Mumbai Metro One's exterior as a wall and conjure decal designs as part of its Majhi Metro festival 2022. Decal or body graphics is what gives any background a character.
A Mumbai Metro One spokesperson said, “We believe our trains need a fresh new face. The theme for Majhi Metro 2022 therefore is ‘Train Decal’. We would want Mumbaikars to design their own Metro train.”
Registration and submission process for Majhi Metro 2022 competition started on October 18. The last date for design submissions is November 18. The exhibition of best designs and felicitation of winners will be held a month later on December 20. The new decal train will be flagged off December 27, just days ahead of new year.
The Majhi Metro festival started in 2013 before the commencement of services. Since then, it has become an annual event involving not only one crore commuters of Metro One, but also art lovers from across the country.
“In the last eight years, we have been able to get over 100,000 different creations in the form of poetry, paintings and photography, propagating the idea that art can be for the masses and spaces are forums for creation, learning and celebration,” the spokesperson said.
Some of the masterpieces from the past years are part of Metro One stations, which have consequently become vibrant and community oriented, he said.
