#Livingart2018 - Flashback










Last year we challenged ourselves and pulled out the festival during the same time when Raash was celebrated – it attracted a huge amount of tourist and visitors which gave us the confidence and we are looking forward for this year to take living art to a new level.
Last year we invited many eminent personalities, Padma Shri Jadav Payeng, Uddhab Bharali ,Dr. Satish kumar university of Belfast, Ireland for interaction among children ,
#Livingart2019
Three day event.
This year we have broadly planned to bring out outcomes of the event in a much structured and powerful manner so that it helps in building capacities and also focus into giving back to the communities and create a positive outcome which will be documented and a project report can be generated from therein.
We are taking the whole activity to many different areas of Majuli, so that the understanding and knowledge sharing will happen on various platforms and there is a strong need to bring these learning across mainstream platforms.
This initiative will help building a strong cultural exchange medium, involving artist, educationist, filmmakers from the region and outside in others to create an opportunity of working with indigenous communities and a strong knowledge sharing process to be originated.
