From December 9, 2012 to January 20, 2013, the BMW Guggenheim Lab Mumbai offered programs and projects exploring public space and the choices Mumbaikars make to balance individual and community interests. Presented in collaboration with the Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museum, the Mumbai Lab operated at six sites throughout the city, making programming and participatory studies available to a diverse range of audiences and communities. Several projects were designed to explore the relationship between privacy and space in Mumbai's dense urban context, including a research project developed in collaboration with Partners for Urban Knowledge, Action and Research (PUKAR) and a visual survey examining Mumbaikars’ perception of privacy and its relationship to public space—a collaboration with the Design Cell at Kamla Raheja Vidyanidji Institute for Architecture and Environmental Studies (KRVIA). To accompany those projects, the Lab created Public/Private, an interactive game that opens up the exploration of privacy in our cities to the global audience. Play Public/Private, share your experience of privacy, and see how people in your city and others view public and private space.
