“IAW is a multidisciplinary conglomeration of gifted individuals. Our features and showcases will take you through a whirlwind of independent works and we aim to be a destination for discovery, as far as multiple Indie art forms are concerned. We also aim to promote collaborative presentations, through the festival which is spread over a week across some intriguing spaces in the Capital and this would possible be the largest multidisciplinary showcase of original works by indie artists,” says Festival curator, Kulshreshtra.
