Fête de la Musique Weekender
WITHIN THIS SELF | YA GHAT BHEETAR
by Shruthi Veena Vishwanath
Presented by the Goethe-Institut Pune in collaboration with TIFA Working Studios and Evolving Culture Foundation, Pune.
Celebrating World Music Day with Fete de la Musique Weekender 2023 - the rhythmic recital brings bhakti to life through a deep musical moment to think about our bodies as a vessel. The performance as a tool to be shapeless, formless, porous yet holding, catalysis the thought - can we begin our discovery to attempt self-realisation?
Lost oral histories of the women of warkari tradition brought back through a contemporary lens with rawness, relevance and resilience.
