SUMMARY:One Step at a Time
DESCRIPTION:If she can do it\, why not you? \nKaamya Karthikeyan is eighteen. She has summited the highest peak on every continent and skied to the South Pole. All while attending school full time\, practicing Bharatanatyam\, and competing in debates. \nIn this conversation\, Kaamya speaks with Sunil Chainani – long-distance runner\, former Karnataka squash captain\, and someone who has spent a lifetime balancing demanding physical goals with a corporate career. Together they explore what it actually takes: the early mornings\, the trade-offs\, the decision to keep going when stopping was easier. \nExtraordinary goals do not always require extraordinary circumstances. More often\, they require a simple\, unwavering decision.  \n

SUMMARY:Album
DESCRIPTION:Language: Hindi \n34-year-old Manjari lives with her elderly father. When she stumbles upon an old photo album\, she is pulled into memories of her parents: everything they sacrificed\, everything they struggled against\, just to bring a smile to their children’s faces. The children grow up and grow distant\, forgetting their mother’s dedication and their father’s silent hardships. Where are her brothers? And when her father quietly disappears into himself again\, what will she do?  \nSwati Vyas takes to the stage as Manjari. With a meticulous lighting and sound that brings the pages of a static photo album to life\, this play is a powerful\, heart-wrenching showcase of familial bonds\, aging\, and urban isolation. \nCredits:\nWriter: Late Raghunandan Trivedi\nDirection: Aru Vyas and Swati Vyas\nSet Design: Krishnakant Vyas\nSound Design: Swaru Vyas\nLights Execution: Tanuj Tak \nSupported by:\n \n

SUMMARY:Are Tanjore and Mysore Paintings Different?
DESCRIPTION:The gold-leaf technique is the same\, but the placement differs. The deities are the same\, but their depiction differs.  \nThanjavur and Mysore are hundreds of kilometres apart; their language\, and culture\, distinct. When the Vijayanagar Empire fell\, its artistic tradition split\, taking root in completely different soils and blossoming with the local aesthetic sensibilities. \nThis conversation brings together art historian Lakshmi Krishnamurthy\, curator R G Singh\, and designer H S Dharmendra. Together\, they discuss and compare the two South Indian artistic traditions. The session concludes with an audience Q&A. \n

SUMMARY:Life Lessons from Composers and Compositions
DESCRIPTION:Carnatic composers were devotees\, but also keen observers of the world around them. Purandara Dasa and Annamacharya sang for kings as well as commoners\, enshrining timeless ideals in luminous\, accessible verse. Tyagaraja’s compositions illuminate the social fabric of his era. Mystical philosophy pervades the kritis of Muthuswami Dikshitar. \nThe hidden depths of these masterworks hold lessons that transcend their age. In this lecture\, Vidwan Neyveli Santhanagopalan\, one of Carnatic music’s most erudite scholars\, draws on a lifetime of study to reveal the wisdom woven into these compositions\, and invites us to rediscover the simplicity and enduring grace of this remarkable tradition. \nPresented by:\n \n

SUMMARY:Beats\, Ballrooms\, and Belonging
DESCRIPTION:Proud\, bold and unapologetic. \nJamaica Moana\, cultural powerhouse\, ballroom icon and multidisciplinary artist\, will be in conversation with Mira Brunner\, an artist\, archivist and writer who works with the National Law School of India’s Queer Archive for Memory\, Reflection and Activism Archival Project. Together\, they will explore the role of music and art in challenging dominant narratives\, and discuss the importance of building queer creative communities. \nAs co-founder of The West Ball\, a platform that leads and uplifts queer\, trans\, and BIPOC communities through ballroom culture\, Jamaica works at the intersection of so many different worlds. Her Māori (Ngāpuhi/Tainui) and Samoan heritage\, queer community leadership\, and a home in Western Sydney\, shape a practice spanning rap\, songwriting and creative direction. \nThis session promises an intimate and honest conversation on art\, identity and pride. \nIn collaboration with: \n       \n

SUMMARY:From Neurons to Networks
DESCRIPTION:\n\nDoes the key to understanding AI lie in our own brains? \nAI borrows heavily from neuroscience: neural networks\, deep learning\, reinforcement signals. But where do the metaphors break down? And what does this exchange reveal about the nature of mind itself? \nIn this conversation\, biologist-neuroscientist K VijayRaghavan\, Distinguished Professor at NCBS and former Principal Scientific Adviser to the Government of India\, and technology-policy researcher Aditya Kumar\, explore the deep dialogue between biological and artificial intelligence. \nA rare conversation where both human and machine intelligence are examined together\, from a human point of view. \n\n\n

SUMMARY:World Fusion by Samyukth
DESCRIPTION:Seven musicians. Seven swaras. One collective. \nIn celebration of World Music Day on June 21st\, Samyukth—World Collective brings together seven artists from seven different musical backgrounds. Much like the seven swaras\, seven talas\, seven hills\, and seven oceans\, this performance is about distinct elements finding harmony together. \nFormed in 2020 by Sai Shiv and Keshav Mohankumar\, the collective weaves together mridangam\, piano\, western harmonies\, raga-based violin\, and Carnatic rhythms into a shared world-music framework. Each musician brings their own voice and tradition to the stage\, creating a sound that is layered\, exploratory\, and entirely collaborative. Inspired by the genre-crossing spirit of artists like Yanni and Shakti\, this evening is an invitation to experience seven distinct musical journeys becoming one. \nSupported by:\n\n
