This festival, in my opinion, brings together major academics, performers, and young artists, making it a globally recognised extravaganza. This year, I will be embracing the beauty of spring through my melodies, making it a memorable evening for all its attendees.”
Also part of the programme, leading Kathak dancer and choreographer Aditi Mangaldas said, “Let our dance be the rainbow that transcends the clouds that have descended upon the art world, and let our art form be the colour that fills our lives with hope. This season our source of warmth and energy is the opportunity to perform at the Heritage Evening of the Jaipur Literature Festival 2022. Thank you, Teamwork Arts, for your continued support of the arts.”
Concluding the Heritage Evening with what promises to be a breathtaking show, Archana Sorana, Founder and Director of the ARCH School of Design, Jaipur, said, “We are thrilled that the Jaipur Literature Festival is back [on-ground] this year, as we had an incredible heritage fashion show at the magnificent Amer Fort two years ago! This year again, we are putting together a show of wearable art that showcases the grandeur of Rajasthan and indigenous knowledge systems that can be further used to build a culture of design that goes beyond heritage.”
