What happens when a thousand oil cans decide to fly?

Jugaad explored this idea through a celebratory and constantly evolving process of re-purposing and redefining the cooking oil can. The project borrows its name from a hindi term which refers to attaining any objective with the available resources at hand. Over a period of three months, discarded oil cans were used as a vehicle to explore ideas of sustainability, recycling and re-purposing with 90 other residents from Rajokri, an urban village in New Delhi. Using grass root ingenuity, Jugaad reincarnated 945 such cans into a free-standing shade canopy spread over 70 square metres.
