Natwar Parekh Compound (henceforth referred to as NPC) is home to over 10,000 people residing in 53 buildings. It hosts a diverse population of people rehabilitated from all over Mumbai and is among the most marginalised in the city. These people are involved in various vocations for their daily bread. It comes as little surprise then that NPC is also home to people with varied skill sets and those who have mastered unique crafts. While a majority of people are involved in basic, easy-to-learn but in-demand skills such as sewing, a craft mapping of the area (carried out by Shireen and Shahista, volunteers from the community) reveals a number of people who have developed and are masters at rare skills and crafts. An emerging pattern across the skills within the community is that it is very evidently subject to the circumstances of the smaller cultural and social subgroups within the larger network that makes up the community. For instance, almost all of the women who are mehendi artists are Muslim. Or that most people involved in sewing or beadwork are women.
