The Mapusa Mogi Project: An Ongoing Community- Centric Public Art Project in Goa

Mapusa is a historic town that Orijit has loved intimately for over 25 years. However, in recent years, this unique place—a cradle of Goan culture, commerce, and cottage industry—faces a rapid decline. Orijit believes public art plays a powerful role in awakening community consciousness.

In July 2023, he secures an art grant and the necessary permissions to begin the Mapusa Mogi Project (‘Mogi’ means ‘lover’ in Konkani), a community-centric public art mural made entirely in ceramic and glass. The grant allows him to form a team, rent a studio, conduct workshops, interview locals, and complete the first 8 metres of the mural, now known as the Centrepiece.

But there is still a long way to go. The final mural spans 100 metres. To realise the next phase, the team is launching a Kickstarter campaign on August 12, 2025, with a goal of raising $30,000–$40,000 (₹25–35 lakhs). This base amount allows them to complete the next 20 metres of the wall.

Orijit Sen is a graphic artist, muralist, and activist. His work spans public art, comics, and design, and is widely exhibited nationally and internationally. Grounded in social observation, his stories—set across times and geographies—remain deeply rooted in the politics and emotions of the present.
