Dear Jai,

We hope you are well and thriving wherever you are.

The Centre for Urban Policy and Governance (CUPG) at TISS, Mumbai, is delighted to invite you to the launch of “MAKE/BREAK”- a Digital Exhibition that traces the violence of Mumbai’s transformation into a “world-class” city.

Make/Break

The digital exhibition emerged from a research project about the effect of the ongoing socio-spatial transformation of Mumbai on marginalised communities in the city, and their responses to it. In our research, we approached urban transformations through the concept of structural violence. Four case studies, chosen for the diversity of their social, historical and geographical profiles do two things. They tell stories of the unjust peripheralization, marginalization, stigmatization of urban poor communities and illuminate their efforts to resist the violence, remake the city, and reclaim their dignity.

You can view the exhibition at: https://makebreak.tiss.edu/ <https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#m_1463196948776941537_search/GEORGE/_blank>

A walk through the Exhibition with the researchers as they discuss the idea behind the exhibition and the process of co-creating it.
