The aim of the project is to make people aware of the importance of a home and a community for all and to celebrate a united diversity. In Goa, over 400 people have contributed to the installation where over 200 boxes were made all with the question in mind: What is Goa for you? Their boxes relay their stories and aims at discovering the different perspectives and stories of Goa through the installation.
