The performers who will be participating this year are set to include DJ Reich, the Nrityagram Dance Ensemble, and the Aakash Odedora Company. Exhibitions by visual artist Hetain Patel, whose work includes sculpture, video, and photography, will be present. PLUS one, a group that presents large-scale installations, sound works, and prints, will make an appearance too.
This six-week festival is set to present the best in Indian-inspired and created works of art to an audience that may not be aware of the participating artists. It will also give the artists an opportunity to become better known in the community.
