Archana Hande’s All is Fair in Magic White presents a satirical exploration of Bombay’s chaotic transformation, juxtaposing its raw, overpopulated, and tumultuous present with its aspirations of becoming a pristine global metropolis. Through a sharp and layered visual narrative, the work interrogates the forces driving this idealized makeover, exposing the tensions between reality and fantasy.

Infused with historical references, Hande’s work complicates this utopian vision by raising critical questions about power, class, and race. The work does not merely document urban change but challenges the underlying systems that dictate who gets to shape the city’s future and who is left behind in the pursuit of an imagined, sanitized perfection.
