ABOUT
Jamboy Poster Campaigns
Urban Interventions. Participatory and Community Design, Installations and Performances.
Collaboration with Lasse Mouritzen
After an extensive fieldwork focus on the informal urban everyday in Mumbai, India, the Jamboy Poster Campaign was initiated. We established a performative design agency offering free services to street vendors, migrant street dwellers, and other nomadic urban communities. The project opened up a process of participatory play embedded in daily activities within urban spaces. Through an iterative design process, we poetically and humorously advocated for their businesses and highlighted individual stories in poster format, reconfiguring urban hierarchies and expressions in dialog with the communities living and working the streets.
The campaign features individuals such as Bhavesh, the leather book vendor; Moonbaba, the king of Mumbai, a real street hangaround; Rashukumar, the barber; and Bablu, the lemonade vendor. Since its inception, the poster campaign has expanded to Copenhagen, Turin, and Buenos Aires, employing similar methods. The projects encompass both formal institutional exhibitions and public interventions and performances.
In Mumbai, the posters were displayed in the central Colaba Market and at Clark House Initiative shopping. In Turin, Shohel handed out free roses and business cards at the Paratissima art fair, while in Buenos Aires, flyers advertising the vendors were distributed around the city during the exhibition at Matienschön.
