Agra heritage walks is an initiative run by UP80 - A group of artists that are living in the city of Agra and working towards a trans-disciplinary art residency in the city itself. Agra Heritage Walks was started in July 2017 with the aim of spreading awareness about the rich culture and heritage of the city. We focus on lesser known monuments or areas of the city. We partner with women, local small businesses and artisans and make them benefit from the tourists while also providing them a platform to show their skills. For example three women from the historic Kala Mahal area have been regularly hosting tourists to traditional food and in turn they make profits and also get appreciated for their skills. Our objectives are a) highlighting heritage, culture and culinary art of the city b) highlighting lesser known monuments and streets of the city.
