Serendipity Arts Festival announces the curators’ line-up for the 2024 edition
South Asia’s largest interdisciplinary cultural event – Serendipity Arts Festival (SAF) 2024 – has announced the curatorial line-up for the ninth edition of the festival which is scheduled in Panaji from December 15 to December 22, 2024. The eclectic set of curators is tasked with the mandate of investigating the possibilities of marrying varied art forms together, pushing their creative boundaries and bringing inclusivity and diversity to the heart of their curatorial ideation.
In addition to this, the SAF aims to build a robust ecosystem by focusing more on working with local communities and integrating accessibility to various aspects of the Festival. There is also focus on developing dedicated programming for artists across disciplines to meet and build long-term relationships and unique partnerships that strengthen and nurture the arts ecosystem collectively. One of the main highlights of the 2024 edition would be the launch of an AI Lab – that will act as an incubation centre for artists using technology and regenerative art as a tool to develop a new art language. Moreover, the Festival will also add a few new venues that promise to enhance the experience of engaging and viewing art.
The national commissioning scheme called Brilliant is open to anyone in the UK, regardless of artistic background.
The deadline for submissions is Sunday, March 23, 2025.
The chosen ideas will be transformed into light works at Lumiere Durham 2025, the UK’s light art biennial.
