Pune is getting ready for a wonderful celebration of poetry and storytelling at the Katha-Kavya festival! This exciting event will take place on March 8th, 2025, from 4:00 PM to 6:30 PM at Monalisa Kalagram. It will showcase different kinds of art, including live poetry readings, storytelling performances, and beautiful visual art. The festival aims to celebrate our rich culture and heritage.
Many talented poets and storytellers like Amol Patil, Renu Solanki, Rishikesh Khodke, Radhika Mukherjee, Shekhar Jha, and Keshava Shukla will share their amazing work during the event. There will also be an artist named Anand Bekwad who'll create a painting while the performances are happening. This will make the event even more exciting as you can see both words and art coming together.
Since the festival is on International Women's Day, it will focus a lot on stories about women. It will blend old tales with new ideas to help everyone understand the importance of women's voices in storytelling. The organizing team, made up of KavitaKAFE and Monalisa Kalagram, wants to show how women are represented in Indian literature today.
Katha-Kavya is an important part of Pune's cultural scene and helps the city shine as a place for new ideas in art and literature. By bringing together different types of storytelling, the festival allows people to share and learn from one another.
The event will be held in a great venue that has good sound and space for everyone to enjoy. This will make it easier for the audience to listen to the poems and stories while also watching the artist paint.
This partnership between KavitaKAFE and Monalisa Kalagram shows how cultural groups in Pune are joining forces to create exciting experiences for everyone. Together, they're making sure that Katha-Kavya is a fun and memorable event that mixes traditional and modern art in a wonderful way!
