Sahyadri Samvada – Mobile Exhibition. Content and Design. Project Climate Action

Sahyadri Samvada is a mobile exhibition designed to foster open and inclusive conversations, particularly among youth, during the ongoing climate emergency. Focusing on the Sahyadri -Western Ghats as a symbol of global environmental challenges, the exhibition uses art, photography, and research to promote awareness and inspire action on environmental issues.

It aims to empower young people as catalysts for change by reviving Eco-clubs in government and private educational institutions post-COVID, and by encouraging curiosity, creative expression, and collective consciousness about conservation.The exhibition engaged approximately 25,000 students over 100 days during the 2023–24 academic year. Additionally, it seeks to involve community stakeholders to extend the dialogue and develop actionable solutions for the health of the Sahyadris.

Faandee eagerly worked with Arun Kumar HG, artist, director of SARA Centre, Bharath Ananthanarayana, Bio Scientist, and the team of Faandee Uddhav Labde, Winona Vaz, Akashaya Krishna to make the visual interface engaging and accessible with lasting impact.
