It is a wondrous, cumulative effort of artists and artisans, curators and volunteers who make the festival a true celebration of culture. This year we also pay homage to the Father of the Nation on his 150th birth anniversary by a special exhibition at the Jehangir Art Gallery and through programs in music, dance, literature, theatre and more.” Talking about what the festival has in store as it turns 20, Nicole Mody, Festival Coordinator of KGAF, said, “The creative hub of Kala Ghoda, over the course of 20 years, has always acknowledged the various communities that are involved in the visual and performing arts industry. Having received unprecedented support from all over the country, KGAF has had a very successful run. It is very important that we honour their support and hence this year, we celebrate each and every category with a sense of nostalgia while embracing the developments in the coming future.” The festival will also host captivating exhibitions at the historic Jehangir Art Gallery.

  • Concept Note: Salaam Bombay Foundation Proudly Presents the First Edition of Our Initiative Voices. Voices Is an Inter- Scho
    Concept Note: Salaam Bombay Foundation proudly presents the first edition of our initiative Voices. Voices is an inter- school peer learning platform via the performing and visual arts. For the children, by the children, to the children, it provides them with an opportunity for creative self-expression through original performances in the form of one act plays, songs and posters. Voices also seek to engage tomorrow’s generation in discussions through the arts on socially relevant issues and to sow the seeds of social responsibility early on in life. Topics are relevant to their lives today: the challenges they face, the stress or joy of being a child in the present times, amongst others. In creative expression, through the mediums of theatre, music and art, Voices will attempt to explore the following subjects 1. Life in a Metro - What is life for an average child in a city like Mumbai? Working parents, pollution, disappearing play areas, potential career opportunities, study pressure, infrastructure, sanitation. For better or for worse, it’s Aamchi Mumbai. The children will tell us how we can make our city better 2. Mujhse Dosti Karoge - Friends are made early. Friends are made easily. Friends influence us - good and bad. Where do we draw the line? What is peer pressure? Is it all bad? 3. No cigarette, no gutkha - Life Se Panga Mat Le Yaar - Substance abuse plagues our youth. India has the largest amount of tobacco users in the world and 70% start before their teens. Every 3 seconds, an Indian child tries tobacco for the first time.
