Art meets music in this digital festival
Live MintAt the Museum of Art and Photography, Bengaluru, the emphasis has always been to create interdisciplinary connections. This festival also marks MAP’s collaboration with the Berklee College of Music, which will allow viewers to witness never-before-seen concerts by the Berklee Indian Ensemble and Women of the World. The two have also worked together on Sounds of the City, a sonic public engagement in which composers and producers have created music inspired by sounds of cities such as Mumbai, Bengaluru, Kolkata and Delhi. According to Kamini Sawhney, director, MAP Bengaluru, arts in India have always been interconnected, with many musicians being deeply influenced by the visual arts, and many photographers likening their work to structures in literature. “Our research has shown that audiences in India feel that museums should offer more local and innovative content, and since our digital-first launch in the pandemic, we have seen a marked increase in engagement with programmes that bring relatable conversations.” Putting on the festival has been a sizable task, made possible by partners and the team at MAP, who collaborated remotely at studios spread across geographies.
