OK TATA is an ongoing archive born from my long-standing fascination with Indian visual culture. The images were taken between 2003 and 2010 across Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan, Kerala, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Uttarakhand, Goa, and Karnataka.
The first part of this collection was shown in the exhibition Street Graphics. India, co-curated with Vladislav Lyashchuk in St. Petersburg in 2004. Supported by the Union of Designers of Russia, the Ministry of Culture, and the Indian Consulate, it marked the beginning of this visual journey. I’ve continued collecting ever since — and am now sharing the archive online. It’s a source of inspiration and a reference point for artists, designers, illustrators, or anyone drawn to the raw, layered beauty of Indian street aesthetics.
Use the tags to explore — they might lead you somewhere unexpected.
