47-A is a gallery for design located in Khotachi Wadi, Girgaum, Mumbai. We trace the lines between craft, art and design and find them increasingly blurred; 47-A delves into all of these and presents shows that are deeply researched and brilliantly curated, through the lens of design.
Our aim is to showcase fine design, to educate and inform, to debate and discuss and to shine a light on the finest craft, art and design that we discover.

THREE TIMES AS DREAM
Ruchi Bakshi's journey into the liminal world of dreams via optical devices
December 13 to January 5, 2025
Designed by Ruchi Bakshi Sharma
Ruchi Bakshi is a filmmaker, artist, and toymaker. Her picaresque characters, often based on outlandish folklore and equipped with supernatural powers, seem to inhabit a strange and wonderful world of myth and fancy and reflect her own fringe theories about the origin ofour world. Everything that surrounds her soaks into her art, emphasizing her interest in creating an alternative way of seeing. Ruchi works with a variety of media, ranging from optical toys, animating wonder turns, lenticulars to jointed paper puppets, zines, and illustrated puzzles.
