Excited to share that @communitydesignagency, the social design studio in Mumbai which is supported by CSF, is hosting an Arts Festival in the marginalised neighborhood of Govandi in Mumbai from the 15th to 19th of February. The @govandiartsfestival is a platform for the youth and residents of Govandi, with whom CDA has been working for the past 6 years, to hone their skills and celebrate the talent and joy that resides in their neighborhood. As one of the most neglected neighborhoods of Mumbai, Govandi and its residents have been at the receiving end of a lot of stigma, misconceptions and are deprived of social and economic opportunities. This Festival is a way for Govandi to connect with the rest of Mumbai and encourage greater involvement in its growth and development. Supported by a grant received by the British Council @inbritish as a part of their India/UK Season of Culture, and in partnership with Bristol based @streets_reimagined01 and @lamplighterarts.cic, this Festival will be a culmination of five 6 month long mentorships for 45 mentees, three 4 month long artist residencies for contextual art installations and a lantern parade with the entire neighborhood.

The Curry Stone Foundation (CSF) is the brainchild of architect, urban planner and developer Clifford Curry, FAIA, and the historical archeologist Dr. Delight Stone, RPA. It was inspired by a shared conviction that design thinking and design actions can—and should, serve those wishing to contribute to community vitality and human dignity. Most of all, we believe that design should be available to those most in need.

REQUESTS FOR FUNDING

Marginalized communities around the world are still dealing with the aftermath of COVID-19. The looming recession and geo-political issues have also been a major cause of concern for all.

Curry Stone Foundation continues to receive numerous requests for support. Many of these causes have significant merit, and we understand the need is great.

We continue to honor our prior commitments, to projects in India and elsewhere, who have needed additional support to reach completion. Since these projects impact fragile, marginalized populations, and are at the crucial stage of scaling, our funds are committed to them.

For these reasons, we will not be able to assist financially with any immediate requests for funds.

Appreciatively,

Curry Stone Foundation
