Growing Up in Mário's World — celebrating the birth centenary of the legendary Mário de Miranda — closes today at Sunaparanta, Panaji. The exhibition features works from the private collection of Shaun Nicholas Lobo, whose father shared a deep friendship with Mário.
Join us for the final walkthrough at 5 PM today. Don't miss it!
Even after the exhibition ends, you can still carry a piece of Mário home — Growing Up with Mário, the limited edition essay anthology created in association with LAFA, is available to order while quantities last.

![Amazing how every time we launch a new The Goa Post collection, we’re rediscovering the magic of MO’s Cafe & Bistro all over again and how this event transforms the space.
From the fresh paint to the deep blue cyanotype artworks that now adorn the walls, Edition #6 with Tarini Kumari was a welcome return to The Goa Post after more than 1 year!
Thank you to everyone who came out to launch the collection, explore the new stationery items and indulge in the sea inspired evening.
A big wave of gratitude towards our event partners:
Hosted by MO's Cafe and Bistro (@moscafebistro), for always opening the cafe to us with welcome arms and a specially set menu inspired by the Sargassum sourced from our next event partner.
Thank you to The Good Ocean (@thegoodocean) for being part of the initiative and furthering the conversation that there is more to Goa than the sand on the beaches.
We have Susegado Beer (@susegadobeer) to thank for bringing the energy to the event with their crafted beers.
And last but not least, L74 Ciders (@l74_ciders) for their crisp and delicious apple ciders, what a vibe!
The collection is now stocked at MO's Cafe and Bistro and consists of –
• Postcards and Greeting Cards Sets
• Notebooks
• Paper Lamps
Currently available exclusively in retail at MO's and for those not in Goa… don’t stress, as we are working on making this available online soon!

We are counting down the hours until the 6th Edition of The Goa Post, where we’ll be featuring the incredible mixed-media work of Tarini Kumari (@thecobaltcompany).
Tarini’s journey into analog photography led her to the magic of Cyanotype—one of the oldest printing techniques in history. By blending botanicals, painting, and photography, she captures both the depth and lightness of the spaces and stories around her.
Come browse a curated collection of:
* Stationery & Postcards

![Small Magic often hides in plain sight. 🪄
For this ATC, we’re turning our attention to the little things that quietly make our days better. That first cup of coffee, the chocolate you love, looking at the stars and the moon — any small moments of joy that could have a place on these little cards.
Prompt: Small Magic
Rules (same as before, plus one new one):
– Standard ATC size (2.5 inches x 3.5 inches).
– Create a set of trading cards — minimum 10 for a good trade.
– Any medium is welcome.
– Cards must be traded, not sold.
– Cards once traded, cannot be re-traded.
– ✨ New rule: each trading card must feature a unique artwork.
📍 LAFA Shop & Bindery, Caranzalem. (Location is mentioned among the links in our bio.)
🗓 8th February, from 4 p.m. onwards
DM us to register, along with the name you’d like displayed.

![How do you bring a mural about Mapusa to life through print?
You turn it into a doodlebook.
Mapusa Mogi is a community public art project opposite St. Jerome Church, in the heart of Mapusa, created by Orijit Sen and People Tree Studio (@peopletree).
This doodlebook was made as part of the fundraising campaign for the project.
Inside, you’ll find line drawings, like @manuelarrrtista's drawing of the St. Jerome Church, placed through the pages for you to colour, fill, respond to, or simply sit with.
It’s a small way to carry a piece of Mapusa’s spirit, and to add your own hand to it.
