Location: Tihar, Delhi
Year: 2014
On March 19, 2014, Lieutenant Governor of Delhi Najeeb Jung unveiled the Tihar wall mural – a stunning example of how art can transform lives and spaces. The piece of art that covers the entire length of the front wall of Tihar jail is a collaborative work of inmates, artists, and students. It is based on a poem called Chardiwari or four walls written by an inmate, for the book Tinka Tinka Tihar, which is a collection of poems and paintings by the inmates of Tihar. This book is edited by Vartika Nanda and Vimla Mehra. This particular poem on the wall expresses the hopes and dreams of the prisoners, who are often marginalized and forgotten by society.

"India's Longest mural adorns Tihar jail" this happens to be the headline of The Hindu on March 19, 2014. This initiative was led into action by Tinka Tinka. Encouragement for shaping talents can bring the positive change that the society readily expects the prison inmates to have but seldom is willing to contribute to. #vartikananda #tinkatinka #prison #jail
