There is something poetic about the seashore—a place where the land kisses the sea, a border between two realms. These spaces, however, do not hold meaning until we ascribe it to them, much like how life is a collection of experiences that become significant only through personal reflection.

This article 'Rooted In Motion' explains about the conversation wherein South African artist Thenjiwe Niki Nkosi talked to us about Conveying her versatile truths and the subtle inclusion of her kaleidoscopic identity, her present series ‘Gymnasium’ and much more

When is Father’s Day 2025? It’s a question that often pops into our heads amid our busy lives, reminding us just how quickly time passes. For me, Father’s Day isn't something that is celebrated in isolation; rather, it should be celebrated every day.

But what if the real actors are not humans but are rather puppets being controlled by strings and rods? This year’s edition of International Theatre Festival of Kerala witnessed water puppetry, a unique style of theatrics based on centuries old Vietnamese folk art whose genesis lies in Hanoi.
