The Corona Quilt Project comes to life in a diverse array of installations, scattered throughout Mumbai city. The presentation has been put together by artist Dia Mehhta Bhupal and focuses around the theme ‘Rise.’
The GIAHC squares are on Worli Seaface BMC School and Jindal Mansion on Peddar Road. “On the Rise“, the presentation on the BMC School Worli Seaface, wraps around the facade of the building with over 5000 individual narratives coming together. It draws a parallel from the butterfly- a symbol of transformation, evolution and resurrection. “A Rising Sun” at Jindal Mansion wraps around the facade of the building with1339 individual stories. It draws a parallel from the landscape of Mumbai with the sun rising along the coastline.
The other Corona Quilt presentation honours the frontline workers. “Warriors Rise” is a montage of portraits presented on the facade of the Haji Ali Pumping Station.
The installations can seen for the next few weeks.

GIAHC is proud to have been a part of the launch of the Mysore Consortium Against Cervical Cancer (MCACC) during the week of the centennial celebration of Mysore Medical College (Dr. Krishnan’s alma mater).
GIAHC is deeply honored to be a part of the “Quad Cancer Moonshot team,” collaborating with our partners to take bold action against #cervicalcancer in the Asia Pacific region. Together, we are committed to eliminating this disease for a healthier future.
Women in Asia are diagnosed with cervical cancer at a disproportionately higher rate than the global average. Despite early diagnosis leading to more effective treatment, many factors in the region prevent women from receiving the care that they need, and the consequences are severe, affecting not only women as individuals, but society at large.
It has been a great honor to be a part of President Biden’s Cancer Moonshot delegation to India and to participate in the US-India Cancer Dialogue Initiative.
