DAY FOUR
Tuesday 28 April, 2020
Day four is about celebrating the human heart as a site for meanings, meetings, and messages. Take a walk through the life and practices of two of India's foremost artists, Sheba Chhachhi and Dayanita Singh; view a range of performances which blur the distinctions between dance and theatre, emotions and movement; or dive into music concerts that will salve your heart after the day's exhaustion. Conversations on cinema, art history, sound experiments and film suggestions complete your day. Join us live to reminisce with Serendipity Soundscape’s curators and artists who talk fondly about the project and their journey.
Note: We hope you like the interesting and varied selection of content which has been shared/suggested by multiple parties. Please keep in mind that most links are active beyond the timing we have recommended (unless specified otherwise). We hope you have an enjoyable time at SAF 2020 x You!
