The First Micro-Exhibition

Selected works from 2025 Open Call will feature in a small exhibition accompanying the book launch. This gathering will showcase voices from across India and spark conversations about design, culture, and identity.

As the book comes to life, the project also takes form in public space. The humble beginning, still being finalized, is to be hosted at and by Chitrakala Mahavidyalaya, Nagpur. It will showcase selected works and open dialogue between documentation, design practice, and the lived reality of India’s streets.

We see this as the first of many such exhibitions. Over time, we hope to extend them to other cities and contexts, allowing Vernacular Branding to travel, evolve, and keep inviting new voices into the conversation.
