STIRfri : Volume 15, Issue 5 WITNESS To witness is to be fully present to another’s reality without retreating into distance or the comfort of looking away. An act of conscious witnessing asks us to hold space for what is difficult or unresolved, without making the experience about ourselves. This week’s dispatch explores how art and design help us witness experiences beyond our own. We ask how VR is making the human cost of the climate crisis tangible, to something bodily encountered. In Yinka Ilori’s ‘Chairman’, chairs become witnesses, carrying personal and collective stories of identity and belonging. At Palestine Design Week 2026, design bears witness to injustice while questioning what should be preserved and then built in its aftermath. Tanya George’s signage design and lettering become sites shaping everyday stories, reminding us of the need to reclaim public space and attend to the narratives inscribed within. A recurrent question emerges: what might change if we truly learned to witness? Text by @joharskhan SUBSCRIBE TO STIRfri - for a well read weekend. www.STIRworld.com LINK IN BIO

What a delight it was for our @admsa_inc & @c20society clients from Australia and the UK to be able to walk around and experience ‘DELITE CINEMA’. One of the oldest and most decorative cinemas in Delhi, this was definitely a wonderful experience for our intimate group. PS: While indoor photography of the lovely decor wasn’t possible, travel savant and closet cartoonist @boatwala did a quick sketch of the cafeteria. Shoutout to @decoindelhi for showing us this brilliant example of an art deco cinema hall and explaining the historical and cultural significance of it. The cafeteria serves coffee, popcorn and puff pastries, but it may as well have been a cocktail bar by the looks of it. 📸 by our in-house photographer: @vincentkingstudios #artdeco #shallwe #decoindelhi #artdecocinemas #artdecoinindia

Our heartfelt thanks to Coordinator Jyotsna Ma’am and the entire team of JDT High School for their warm hospitality, excellent coordination, and support.

Went for a walk around Mumbai just to see its Art Deco and Victorian Gothic architecture, felt like walking through a living museum. I’ve always been a big fan of Art Deco as an art movement, so seeing it come alive across the city was pretty special. Really wish Delhi had more buildings like these. #artdeco #mumbai Rajabai Clock Tower with BSE in the background The New India Assurance Company Limited HQ the iconic “flora fountain” Horniman Circle Horniman Circle The iconic spiral staircase at the University of Mumbai University of Mumbai Bombay High Court Gateway of india Empress Court BMC HQ Bandra Worli Sea Link David Sassoon Livrary Kala Ghoda Statue BOI HQ ICP Fort Heritage Horniman Circle CSMT Entrance to the house of Muhammad Ali Jinnah

Fulchand Niwas, Chowpatty Sea Face, Built in 1934. Built on the corner plot at the junction of Sandhurst Road (now Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Road, Girgaon) and Chowpatty Sea Face, the building was commissioned by Hirachand Jhaveri and named after Hirachand's father, who was the first owner of the building. The plot of land that Fulchand Niwas stands on belonged to the Maharaja of Morvi, and was one of the 16 plots in the Morvi estate which were developed around the same time. The most striking feature of the building is the clock tower. The clock, framed in a stepped-profile on the crown of the building, froze beyond repair sometime in the 1980s. The Rotating Emblem: Positioned prominently at the very top of the FulChand Niwas building's distinctive clock tower is a massive Mercedes-Benz three-pointed star emblem. It used to mechanical rotate, making it a legendary landmarks across the beach skyline during the mid-20th century. Decades later, the Mercedes emblem was taken down. Between the 1980s and 1990s, it was replaced by another celebrated piece of local history—a giant, revolving neon Thums Up sign displaying the brand's signature "thumbs up" logo and its iconic tagline, "Taste the Thunder". #Bombay #Mumbai #MumbaiHeritage #Mumbaihistory #MumbaiIndians Reelindia reelinstagram  ReelOldBombay MumbaiReels OldBombayReels IndiaReels OldMumbai OldMumbaiReels Bombay Mumbai SouthBombay BombayHeritage MumbaiHeritage mumbaihistory mumbaikar mumbaiblogger Charni Road LalBagh LalBaug Parel Kala Chowki Parsi ParsiWork ParsiGara mumbaidiaries mumbaifood mumbaifashionblogger mumbaifashion Wadala Sion Kings Circle Matunga Dharavi Vihar Powai Jogeshwari Goregaon Aarey SGNP Kandivali Bandra Khar Vile Parle Juhu mumbaifoodies mumbailife mumbailocal oldbombay mumbaiuntold mumbaiscenes BritishRaj BritishEra ColonialIndia ApolloBunder GatewayOfIndia mumbaiindians Bombay MumbaiHistory MumbaiHeritage BombayHeritage bombaydiaries iitbombay mumbaidiaries mumbaiindians💙 mumbaiblogger MumbaiRains mumbaiflood Byculla Bhendi Bazar Nagpada Churchgate Mazhgaon Thakurdwar Mazgaon MarineDrive Narimanpoint Colaba Dadar Bandra Andheri Borivali Malad Ghatkopar FloraFountain VT CSMT

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KARFULE! This day, 88 years ago, Gabriel Sequeira opened his second petrol station, this one for the California Texas Oil Company or Caltex, and named it after the commodity he was selling – car fuel! The city’s most famous Art Deco architect GB Mhatre designed the outlet, and the Sequeira family continues to maintain the petrol station, more or less, in its original form. #TodayInMumbaiHistory #ThisDayThatYear #Mumbai #Bombay #MumbaiHeritage #MumbaiUntold #MumbaiDiaries #BallardEstate #Karfule #HindustanPetroleum #Petrol #PetrolPump (Karfule Petrol Pump, Ballard Estate, Art Deco Mumbai, Mumbai Heritage, Colonial Mumbai, History)
