Dhoomimal Gallery Untitled, Oil on Board, 1964 Michelle Poonawala AquaVitae Mixed Media with acrylic paint & metal butterflies on canvas board 2024 Ashiesh Shah Atelier Ashiesh Shah KALAGHODA Material: Cast aluminium, Glass Vibha Galhotra Nature Morte Gallery The Final Feast Rocco Ritchie Self Portrait Before Narayan Biswas Paletter Gallery Panch Metal 2024 Ann Carrington Tara Art Sculptures made of Stainless Steel Cutlery 2025 and Still from video art by Ryan Koopmans Part of Souza’s “Head” series, this work transforms the human face into a mask-like symbol of frailty and survival. Influenced by icons, Cubism, and Expressionism, Souza distorts features with bold outlines, raw brushwork, and a striking palette of reds, greens, and blacks. The result is both sacred and grotesque, a powerful image that critiques society while exposing the intensity of the human condition. Art Be A Part In a remarkable act of generosity, a self-portrait was donated by Rocco Ritchie (son of Madonna & Guy Ritchie), with proceeds going directly to expand Art be a Part’s outreach and education programs with UNICEF India. Medha Nanda, founder Art be a Part said, “Art is a powerful tool of self expression and communication. Through our initiative SpArK (Special +Art+Kids), we support the equitable and inclusive education for children especially those with special needs.“ All proceeds from the MASH Ball will support UNICEF India’s Art-Based Therapy (ABT) and Early Childhood Development (ECD) programmes, two initiatives Ms. Passi has personally supported. Art-Based Therapy (ABT) enables children to communicate, heal, and express themselves through non- verbal creative engagement. Especially vital in times of trauma, ABT provides emotional release and self-discovery, helping children navigate psychological stress and find balance in today’s increasingly complex world. Early Childhood Development (ECD) focuses on the foundational years of a child’s life, critical for cognitive, emotional, social, and physical growth. By investing in this early window of opportunity, the programme ensures every child has the tools to survive, thrive, and succeed. To further support the cause, Ms. Passi also donated 100% of her remuneration from her appearance on Netflix’s Fabulous Lives Vs Bollywood Wives to UNICEF India. An Evening Like No Other This second edition of MASH Ball celebrates the theme of “Fashion in Films”, bringing together industrialists, artists, designers, philanthropists and like minded people whose works explore the language of film, its power to shape memory, identity, and collective imagination. A curated art showcase, and a gathering of key voices from the creative and philanthropic worlds will define this unforgettable night. By engaging public figures, MASH and UNICEF aim to amplify their reach and impact, ensuring access to education, nutrition, clean water, protection, and opportunity for every child. As art becomes a medium for advocacy and transformation, the MASH Ball offers more than spectacle, it builds a future. For media enquiries or partnership opportunities, please contact:
