Extraordinary women

After a showing in Amsterdam in March 2019, Goddess and her Magic Broom premiers in India this month. This dance-theatre performance is based on poetry and imagery created around a homemaker’s life, which is often rendered invisible. Goddess and her Magic Broom celebrates the voice and madness of a woman who is wild, free and beautiful. Artists Veena Basavarajaiah (choreographer), Charumathi Supraja (writer / composer) and Harshitha Bhat (performer) share their experience and skillsets to shape the performance.

Matters of art

There can never be enough space for artists to express themselves. And so, this weekend, Social will launch an initiative to provide a platform for artists with an aim to diversify, engage and drive a community-run collective by bringing together micro-art communities in the country. The series is called Social Art Revival and will involve transforming this venue into a shape-shifting art gallery with a curated fine art exhibit, art installation, workshops, panel discussions, film screening, wine showcase, music listening room and more. It will look at the concept of breathing art into life, and life into art.
In the opening edition, you can sign up for two workshops – The Fearslayer Workshop by Something Sketchy and How To Draw Faces Workshop by Spreefirit.
