About:
My name is Venkat Krishnan. I am 16 years old and in Grade 11 at the Shiv Nadar School, Gurgaon.
I believe that this crowdfunding campaign is beneficial because art is a vital part of our school life. But this is often neglected in pursuit of academics. This also gives an opportunity for the artists who have been left high & dry in the wake of the pandemic. They have lost their source of income. All forms of art facilitate self-discipline and the importance of teamwork, it hones decision-making skills but most importantly gives them a medium through which they can express themselves.
The unique feature of this festival is that it is completely student-led. Students have conceptualised, planned and organised this event from scratch as an extension of the school learning programme. We have conceptualised the event at an audacious global scale, and we need you to help us take this dream off the ground. There will be a range of performances, workshops, exhibitions, webinars, documentary screenings and other arts-related events.
