Expressions
Celebrating Cultural Intimacy and Diversity
India is a multi-cultural, multi-ethnic, multi-dimensional country, where we can see unity in diversity. Throughout the time, with many of its inner complexities, India has maintained diversity and plurality of its nature. Today, with many related issues coming up, it is very much important to celebrate the diverse nature of the country. It's a high time in the country that like-minded people come forward and form a collective group and will which further work to make people realize and that maintaining peace and harmony in the state is very much necessary for the good health of the county and all of us.
As usual, Art has always been a vehicle of communication and also a form of self-expression which helps us to understand and to reflect on various issues. It's a visually powerful form of expression. Art, poetry, music and related matters carry such a power which can transform the society. We think to maintain diversities; Art as a form for Social Inclusion. On 10th December 2015, the human rights day, we are organizing a cultural day which will highlight Cultural Diversities and how it binds us in our life through different Art forms and different medium i.e. through Music, Painting, Dance, Drama etc. We will be celebrating diversities through different kinds of Expressions which promotes Ideas of Tolerance in the society and country.
As widely discussed and debated, currently freedom of expression and speech is under threat and being suppressed in the country. There are various incidents happening nowadays.Fanaticism is the greatest thorn in the part of cultural intimacy, and there is no better remedy for fanaticism than secular and scientific education. Secularism is not hostile to religion or religiously informed cultural differences, it could help foster cultural intimacy, among India's diverse communities. Today's growing fanaticism is very much disturbing and do not go well with the nature of the county. To keep our spirits on and energize high, we have focused on building peace and healing violence through different Art forms. We have chosen various forms to express our freedom and ethnicity united with diversity. History has shown how creative people express through colors, ragas and words. We, writers, poets, artists, young or old, are conscious and collectively uphold our freedom of expressions. We will be making use of different mediums of expressions. It will also show how Art has no borders and boundaries. This form of peace building helps in transforming one's own personal and political which will further helps in building peace through collective hands.
We request all of you to join and participate in the event. Let us come together and work for a better society and country free of hatred and violence. Let us work and keep the spirit of the country alive for our future generations. Join us with any form of art you are familiar with and invite your friends and like-minded people who can contribute meaningfully for the purpose. We are much sure that if we come together and work, we can do it and make it into reality. Let's dream for a better India.
