The unveiling was followed by a fireside chat between Bose and WAC Curator Sumi Gupta, at the Living Room of The Waverly. The inaugural event culminated with “Wearable Art” – a show by JD Institute of Fashion Technology at Skydeck. Sumi Gupta, Curator of the festival said, “I am thrilled to steer this fantastic public initiative in its fifth year. This edition of WAC has incredible collaborations with institutions and student artists from across Bengaluru, creating a vibrant platform for large-scale installations & sculptures. Over the next month, WAC 2020 will bring together a community of connoisseurs, art students, patrons, and the citizens of Bengaluru in a celebration of the city’s art and culture.” Special guests at the inauguration included senior artist Seema Kohli, Director, Writer & Producer, Shonali Bose and author Sreemoyee Piu Kundu.

Getting the young brains on board, WAC 2020 will get The Art Yard kicking with children aged six and above invited to transform waste from their homes into works of art. They could add their creations to the larger installation and grab that opportunity to look beyond ‘use and throw.’ That way, the young talents would be giving a big push to creative alternatives that banks on repurpose and reuse. Ensuring that the two-day engagement goes ahead flawlessly will be trained art facilitators of ArtFlute and Dream-a-Dream. The latter is an NGO that empowers children and young people from vulnerable backgrounds to overcome adversity through a creative life skills approach. UnGallery, with its promise to turn spaces into gallery nook; Re-Imagine Bengaluru, and a Base Art project to beckon students from Art Schools and reputed city art groups to paint on the walls of the basement, is bound to make WAC 2020 even more exciting.

Reflecting on modern day relationships

Being Theatre Productions’ staged Aaina…Zindagi ka at Rangoli Metro Art Centre ‘Being Theatre Productions’ in association with JD Institute of Fashion Technology staged a play recently named Aaina…Zindagi ka, at Rangoli Metro Art Centre, Rangasthala, that derives its inspiration from the iconic movie from the 70s named ‘Bawarchi’. The play is based on the idea about how one man changes the squabbling environment of a family by iterating on the importance of communication and respecting one another’s emotions. In today’s world, where hate speech, angry tweets, and intolerance presides over humanity, the essence of appreciating and feeling appreciated has been subdued in totality. Dating apps in dozens are considered the foundations of building a relationship today and the traditional aspects of trust, respect, and love have been overshadowed. Our society is in desperate need of someone that can re-iterate the importance of emotions and value of love to this materialistic world. We all need a ‘Brahmanad’ – the character in ‘Aaina…Zindagi ka’ who teaches the value of acknowledgment and appreciation in our life and encourages us to revisit our relationship under the light of respect. Aaina…Zindagi ka sheds light on the inconsequential race of surviving which leaves no scope for love and no convenience for sustaining a relationship. Through this play, Being Theatre Productions have raised enough questions for people to reconsider the way they look at relationships and reflect on the importance of appreciation in our ephemeral life.
