The Delhi Street Art Group joined hands with the Embassy of Finland and painted the walls of Khan market. The aim of the renovation is to beautify the neglected areas and the murals are created with a theme of diversity. The word Hän is written on some of the murals. During an interview with Delhi Times, Yogesh Saini, founder of Delhi Street Art, explains, “Hän is the gender-neutral Finnish personal pronoun that treats everyone equally. In the Finnish language, personal pronouns (words used as substitutes for a person’s name, such as he and she) do not specify whether the person discussed is a woman or a man. One word – hän – refers to women, men and people of other genders alike.” Hän is a symbol of a better world in which individuals are not characterised by context, gender or appearance. Finnish Ambassador Ritva Koukku-Ronde inaugurated one of the murals and put up a Hän board. She said, “I hope the community likes this and I loved that so many children came to paint together with artists. We’re really proud that we could be a part of this small part of Delhi. Street artists here are doing great work and making various areas beautiful. They’re spreading happiness, and we (Finnish people) like happiness very much”
