The Serendipity Arts Festival returns to Panaji, Goa, for its ninth edition starting from December 15th to 22nd. Organised by the Serendipity Arts Foundation, an initiative established to promote and nurture the arts, the festival has consistently sought to bring together artists, curators, and audiences in a shared celebration of creativity and cultural exchange. This year a distinguished lineup of curators are expected to bring their expertise and vision to 200+ projects, at 22+ venues, ensuring a vibrant and diverse showcase across multiple disciplines.
Curated by prominent figures in their respective fields, the festival features a diverse program ranging from dance, visual arts, music, culinary arts, theatre, craft, to special projects. Music highlights include Bickram Ghosh’s ‘The Three Divas’ featuring Usha Uthup, Aruna Sairam, and Shubha Mudgal; and Zubin Balaporia’s “One World” concert bringing together diverse musical styles. Odissi dancer Sharmila Biswas will present “Sutra” – a contemporary reimagining of traditional storytelling. The “Past Forward” exhibition, curated by Kristine Michael, will explore the intersection of memory and innovation in ceramics and glass, featuring works by renowned artists and collaborative projects.
