Art & culture

Locacola — bottles, street sounds and a different kind of pop art

Sharmila Samant turns a familiar soft-drink bottle into a way of looking at global brands and local culture. Explore an installation combining collected bottles, a street-vendor cart, projected images and a 35-minute soundscape of Indian everyday life.

Representative photograph of branded bottles; not Sharmila Samant’s artwork, the exhibition or a giveaway.
