Goa Khabar:<\/strong> Day 3 of the ongoing Serendipity Arts Festival 2023 took the audience on an exploratory journey of discovering the various facets of text, musical ecosystems and the dynamic coupling of sound with sight and vice versa.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A wonderful addition to the sixth physical edition of the Festival\u2019s programming is the \u2018Text\/Matters\u2019 project which is supported by the JCB Literature Foundation and is in partnership with The Marg Foundation and Art India Magazine. The project aims to encourage audiences to look at literature as an art practice in itself.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cOver the years, the Serendipity Arts Festival has been working towards bridging the various expressions of arts within India and we are extremely excited for this collaboration that narrows the gaps even further. Foundations like JCB and Serendipity need to collaborate for Text\/ Matters because we work towards the same goal, which is extremely integral to mapping the culture of our country and ever-changing ecosystem. We are trying to make sense of the nation\u2019s narrative and to work towards a collective consciousness of artistic expressions,\u201d said Mita Kapur, literary director of the JCB Prize for Literature.<\/p>\n Curated by Veeranganakumari Solanki, \u2018Synaesthetic Notations\u2019 explores the image as an arrival and departure point with sound as the crux of the formation of deciphering images. Spread across the first floor of the old GMC building, the exhibition features works of over 15 artists who have employed various mediums to explore the relationship between sound and visual imagery as their primary senses. Works on display captivated the audience as they experienced stories, musical sounds and voices from nature reverberating throughout the exhibition space. Curious onlookers participated as they watched the videos and listened to audio while interpreting individual meanings from the artwork.<\/p>\n A notable work within the \u2018Synaesthetic Notations\u2019 exhibition was artist Satya\u2019s production \u2018Hello? Who is Speaking\u2019 that uses the sound and fragmented pieces of glass as an instrument to deconstruct and understand the meaning of \u2018self\u2019 that is layered with multiple connotations. Visitors were seen interacting with the work while engaging with the artist to understand the conceptual framework of the display.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A workshop that witnessed an overwhelming response was \u2018What\u2019s Desire Got to Do With It\u2019 which decoded people\u2019s obsession with aphrodisiacs, the nuances of pleasure politics and the implications of consumption through the lens of food and desire.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The turnout at the musical evenings at the Arena at Nagalli Hills Grounds was phenomenal as Day 3 of the festival offered an eclectic series of musical events that married folk and contemporary melodies. \u2018Nimad: Under the Neem Tree\u2019 documented the sonic tapestry of Nimadi folk music from Madhya Pradesh. The electric performance seamlessly blended these traditional melodies with global influences, resulting in a rich palette of sounds that breathed new life into the timeless world of folk tunes passed down through generations in small communities.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Closing the day was an electrifying performance by \u2018Bollyjazz\u2019, a band known for marrying Bollywood songs into amazing jazz tunes. As the musical group belted out evergreen Hindi songs from the Golden Era of Bollywood that were rearranged with Jazz rhythms such as Samba, Bossa Nova, Swing and Funk, the ground shook as the audience grooved, danced and swayed to the thumping rhythm.<\/p>\n The official hashtag for SAF 2023 is #ComeTogetherAtSAF, a sign of celebration and sharing of a vision that has been widely supported. This is the Festival\u2019s 8th edition, of which two were digitally presented in 2020 and 2021, respectively.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u00a0 Goa Khabar: Day 3 of the ongoing Serendipity Arts Festival 2023 took the audience on an exploratory journey of discovering the various facets of text, musical ecosystems and the dynamic coupling of sound with sight and vice versa.
