Have you got the 2024 Calendar?

Madras Inherited x Binsan 2024 Calendar

This year, we look at signs - signs around the city, created over the years, that carry several stories and meanings. We look at them through the lens of design, history, and commerce. We also hope these frames encourage you to pause the next time you’re out and about, and maybe discover a sign that shines beneath the humdrum, another gem.

If you have gotten a calendar copy, here are some reading materials to check out.
