Aimed to highlight the importance of using genuine parts, the installation – consisting of disk brakes, fender, spark plugs, and clutch plate among others – will be open for public viewing from August 18-20, 2017 (Friday- Sunday) at the Oberoi Mall in Goregaon.

To amplify the experience, the Lord Ganesha installation will feature a special 12 cameras set up, allowing visitors to click a 180-degree photograph. Users will also be able to upload their photographs on Facebook with the hashtag #SelfieWithFordGanesha and stand to win a small Ganesha idol, also created with spare parts.
Speaking about the unique installation, Madhvi Pittie from Workshop Q said, “As a green product design company, we often experiment with discarded objects and materials from the city’s streets, factories, households and proud to have made a beginning with auto spare parts – thanks to the challenge given by Ford.”
