\"Design<\/a><\/p>\n

Mumbai\u2019s newest museum is not set in a monumental building, but rather a simple pushcart that can roll from one street to another.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s called\u00a0Design Museum Dharavi<\/a>. When it opened last week, it could be found on an unmarked lane in Dharavi, the densely packed shantytown of nearly a million people and one of Asia\u2019s largest slums.<\/p>\n

The museum hosts exhibits celebrating the pottery, embroidered garments, wooden carvings and other handicrafts manufactured within Dharavi\u2019s three square kilometers. Over two months, co-founders Amanda Pinatih and Jorge Ma\u00f1es Rubio will roll the nomadic display through Dharavi\u2019s tightly stitched neighborhoods, co-hosting exhibits, workshops, film screenings and lectures with local residents. Their goal is to showcase the design talent in a stigmatized area that the rest of the city mostly sees as a nuisance and developers mostly view as land for future high rises.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe look at it in a completely different way,\u201d says Rubio. \u201cDharavi is full of makers, designers, manufacturers and also entrepreneurs. We just can\u2019t figure out how a place like this is still seen as a problem. We see it as part of a solution to issues of informal settlements not just here but all over the world.\u201d<\/p>\n
