DAY 3
Past Forward: The Pleasure, Purpose and Practice of Arts Research

October 27, 2024 | 09:00 AM onwards
Bangalore International Centre (BIC)

The last day of the festival, and we would like to keep it as memorable as possible! Thank you for engaging with us in the past two days, but we hope you can make it today too, to see a little more. 

The Mysore Police Band gets us off to a start with their fusion of Western and classical music. The panels will speak about literary and cinematic practices in India, and how a researcher thinks about them. The Research Spotlight sessions showcase diverse artistic explorations, we invite you to engage with the researchers closely. We will also host a book preview about an anthology of photography making in our country, published by Zubaan, have an immersive workshop to build safety practices in the arts, and finally, listen to the beats of the Teesta river through the Teesta Troupers' tunes! 

Read the schedule for Day 3 below or download the full schedule here. Register for the festival here.

Please note that WorkshopResearch Spotlight@Exhibition and Sound of Streets - a Teesta Troupers performance need separate registrations.

You can also read/download the festival note and bios of participants.

This festival is free and open to all and will have Indian Sign Language interpretation.
