Koi Sunta Hai, the Kabir festival, draws on a phrase from a poem by the legendary poet, and offers a scintillating mix of art, films and music

We have grown up reading the great mystic poet Kabir, whose dohas are popular even to this day. Bengaluru is celebrating the legendary poet-philosopher with a festival of art, music and films.

New beginnings

The Kabir festival has been organised by the Srishti School of Art, Design and Technology.

"This initiative brings together a range of artists and musicians to initiate new dialogues, future opportunities for performative practices and synergies that grow much beyond the event adding another layer of cross-cultural, trans-border exchanges that would widen perspectives," says Geetha Narayanan, founder-director of Srishti.

The weeklong festival will have film screenings, live music concerts by folk artistes and Sufi singers, discussions and exhibitions at multiple venues across the city.
