Textile Worker’s strike in 1982 was a pivotal moment in the history of the textile industry and that of Mumbai. Unsuccessful end of the strike served to change the face of once industrial capital of the country into financial capital.
In the past three decades, Mumbai saw a dramatic transition from mills to malls and residential towers, considered as the most disruptive urban transformations India has ever seen. This is an exploratory attempt at retelling this story of the forgotten past of the city. It is aimed at creating an interactive installations with data physicalization. It attempts to providing a context to a 35 year old story to the current population.
