Speaking about the Festival, Sunil Kant Munjal, Founder & Patron, of Serendipity Arts and Founder of THE BRIJ, said: "South Asia's unparalleled cultural richness has been shaped by multiple influences over the centuries. While being an amalgam of many, our arts and culture still have their own unique richness. We are lining up top-notch curators and collaborators for the upcoming Serendipity Arts Festival (SAF) in Goa this December as part of our journey to capture South Asia's richness and diversity and blend these with the best global art practices. While looking at multiple art forms we also investigate and present the inter-disciplinarity of the many art forms- broadly through visual, performing, culinary, and performance arts." This edition of the festival will also feature a set of special curators including Zubin Balaporia (Music), Vikram Iyanger (Dance), Elizabeth Yorke & Anusha Murthy with Edible Issues, who be the special curators for culinary arts. While Bhagyashree Patwardhan will return to curate a project around local Goan design practices. There might be additions to the list of special curators, closer to the festival. Smriti Rajgarhia, Director, Serendipity Arts Foundation and Festival, said: "We are happy to announce our new line-up of curators for the Serendipity Arts Festival 2023, who will help us in re-imagining the arts and will be creating an array of projects that are engaging, inclusive and immersive, prompting the public to think beyond the white cube and proscenium spaces." - /IANS
