We move through the buzzing mass of people at the Visitors’
Centre toward the quieter corners. We have heard that the Art Cart emerges every
Tuesday and Friday afternoon, and have seen pictures of it in The Hindu. We look behind Dreamers’ Café,
and then behind the restaurant. We finally spot it, a colourful construction
standing quietly on the stage. As we walk up, Krupa’s warm smile greets us, as
she extends her hands and says, “Hi, would you like to draw something?”
Hesitant but curious, we circle the Art Cart and observe.
Painted in colorful stripes, this small box is designed to be a mobile creativity
set. Its walls come down to create tabletops. Small stools, which can be packed
into the cart, come out, as well as boxes of colours and reams of paper. There
is a note posted to explain the purpose: “Art Corner: An open space for
self-expression through the visual arts!”
We notice that the Art Cart draws in the curious, of all
ages and nationalities....
