Growing up in the South Asian city of Bengaluru and experiencing its rapid development left us feeling isolated, uprooted from community, and ourselves. We develop an outdoor peer-art practice: the na-dhi method to reflect on changing ideas of home. In the course of the study, we use the practice to reflect on larger conversations on alienation and the question of access to public spaces in an urban Indian context.
Bhandari et al. (2025) studied this question.
