Attend 6 Art Exhibitions By 15 Visual Artists In A 150,000 Sq. Foot Warehouse This Weekend

The Homegrown Festival has been a creative playground for Indian artists, photographers, designers, musicians and creators for almost a decade since its first iteration as 'HG Street' in 2018. After a year-long hiatus, The Homegrown Festival is back — and it's bigger and better than ever. This year, Homegrown will showcase four emerging contemporary Indian women artists Namrata Kumar, Taniya Timble, Bhumika Mukherjee, and Vridhhi in a pop-up group exhibition at the Richardson & Cruddas (1972) Ltd., in Byculla, as part of The Homegrown Festival.

Namrata Kumar

Namrata Kumar is an artist and graphic designer based in New Delhi. She graduated from the Srishti School of Art & Design, Bangalore, in 2010. She has been a practicing graphic designer, illustrator, and painter ever since. Her visual arts practice is inspired by her travels, new cultures, peoples, and places. She is deeply interested in textiles and fabric, and particularly fascinated by the Sari, which is the subject of many of her works.

Taniya Timble

Taniya Timble is a self-taught illustrator based out of Jaipur, Rajasthan. Her creative practice is primarily inspired by the city — its vibrant culture, colours, and people — although she also draws inspiration from her extensive travels across the Indian subcontinent. She likes to capture the quotidian and the mundane in her vivid, colourful digital illustrations.

Bhumika Mukherjee

Bhumika Mukherjee is a designer and artist with a Bachelor’s degree in Design from NID, Ahmedabad, and a correspondence Fine Arts Diploma from Pracheen Kala Kendra, Chandigarh. She began her career as a Producer in Creative Communications at Star Movies & Star Movies Select, Star India, Mumbai. In her independent visual arts practice, Mukherjee specialises in commissions and freelance illustration across traditional and digital media.

Vridhhi

Vridhhi is a Toronto-based interdisciplinary artist working across performance, painting, installation, and writing. Drawing inspiration from dreams and personal narratives, her practice explores personal and collective healing through the lens of intergenerational knowledge and soft futurism. Her work involves ritualistic repetition and mark-making — exploring the relationship between tangible materials and metaphorical expressions, and infusing her work with layers of meaning. Grounded in ritualism and speculative world-building, her work transforms memories of trauma, melancholy, and grief into acts of resilience and renewal.

Namrata Kaur, Manuja Waldia, Bhumika Mukherjee, and Vridhhi's new works will be showcased in a contemporary art exhibition at the Richardson & Cruddas (1972) Ltd. in Byculla, Mumbai, on February 22 and 23 as part of The Homegrown Festival 2025.
