New Dawn 2 at HeartWorks 2026

Part of the launch of HeartWorks 2026, Mumbai Edition, NEW DAWN 2 is an interactive art experience by Mumbai’s Howareyoufeeling.studio duo, Doyel Joshi and Neil Ghose Balser, in collaboration with Grammy-nominated musician Anoushka Shankar. 

Debuting in India at IF.BE, the installation invites spontaneous drawings from 3500+ children from local schools, interpreting “a new dawn” as a collective expression of universality—a living mural of imagination, emotion, and renewal. Each drawing becomes part of a larger body of work that the artists are presenting globally, contributing to a shared vision of transformation and the hope we all carry.

“Working with My Open Muse, HeartWorks, and Anoushka Shankar allows us to bring this belief into a living, breathing form. In gathering these drawings, we honour the idea that creativity belongs to everyone—each child or participant that draws—and that when people imagine a new dawn together, they also imagine a new future together.” — Doyel Joshi & Neil Ghose Balser, Howareyoufeeling.studio
