Kohinoor, where are you?

This mural serves as a visual narrative deeply rooted in its site-specific context. Located in the heart of the Punjabi Market, behind a jewelry store, the mural was created with the intent of sharing a story familiar to the South Asian community — the story of the Kohinoor diamond. Depicting one of the largest diamonds ever found, the mural shares the story of how this precious gem was wrongfully taken by the British from Punjab, conveying a poignant message about the historical realities of colonialism and imperialism. The mural acts as a conversation starter and engaging educational piece, offering a window into a history that resonates with the community.
