IIAD Students Spotlight Goan Cuisine, Craft And Culture Through Visual Storytelling At Serendipity Arts Festival 2023
Mumbai : Serendipity Arts Festival 2023 (8th Edition), one of South Asia’s largest annual interdisciplinary cultural extravaganzas, collaborates with IIAD for its ‘Village Project’. IIAD’s contribution to ‘The Village’ project aims to authentically capture and bring awareness to the essence of local village life at the festival through the power of visual storytelling. This collaboration offered a platform for cultural exchange, celebrating the diverse grassroots traditions of North and South Goan communities as IIAD Communication Design students played a pivotal role & used visual mediums to promote awareness around traditional Goan cuisine, craft, and culture. The festival from December 15th – December 23rd provides a unique opportunity for the industry, academia, and other local entrepreneurs to come together to celebrate the lesser-known cultural nuances and intricacies of the Goan rural communities.
The Serendipity team forged a partnership with The Locavore team for the curation of the culinary experience, the Indian Institute of Art and Design (IIAD) for visual storytelling, and Goa Livelihoods Forum (GLF) for mobilising the local communities. Together, they orchestrated a transformative design experience at Art Park’ The Village’, one of the highlights of the Serendipity Arts Festival 2023. For IIAD students, the aim and intention of this project was to bring community stories and the experiences shared with them to the visitors at the festival. This initiative offers a meaningful opportunity for visitors to engage with and learn from the local communities as they try out food at the live community kitchen.
