Ministry of New

Bombay’s heritage mile houses some of the city’s hippest and most clandestine creative spaces, but recent addition Ministry of New is no secret. Two months ago, a century old brick building on Fort’s DN Road was painted a brilliant blue to announce its arrival. Occupying the third floor of Kitab Mahal, which earned its name from housing a bookshop and several wholesalers, this coworking space is bigger and brighter in its third incarnation. 

LOVER worked out of The Gallery during opening week, observing strangers becoming collaborators and friends, and touring its many beautiful spaces. We interviewed co-founders Marlies Bloemendaal and Natascha Chadha to learn more about it.
