Kalaghoda mini festival scheduled from 30th October to 2nd November is a smaller version of the actual event that takes place in the month of February every year.
Presented by the Kala Ghoda Association (KGA), the cultural had close to 80 stalls for arts and crafts, performances by renowned artists like Jagjit Singh, Gary Lawyer, Shilpa Rao and Niladri Kumar.
The festival also had a children's section. From magic workshops to Origami workshops (CRY) and Puppet making to Witchcraft, several activities have been incorporated for the little ones. Once again Kala Ghoda spread art and culture with full enthusiasm.
Keeping in mind the popularity of the festival among mumbaikars it was great news indeed that SOMAIYA SOCIAL CELL had successfully organised a Warli workshop at the Kala Ghoda mini festival on 1st November '09.
The warli team had with the assistance of Mrs. Brinda Miller set up a warli painting workshop for children. Social cell members present there were Ritica Bhardwaj, Gunjan Bhutani, Rishabh, Gauraav Singh Pardhi and Sumit Loya. They arranged for all the art works and supplies and also arranged for the painters to come from warli.
Ritica bharadwaj who was there at the festival shares her experience:
“Painters handled the kids very well making the workshop a success.The response we got there was really great. There were only 25 seats, but the children as well as their parents were very enthusiastic about the workshop, that we had no other option but to accomodate more students ( around 35-40).The kids were really happy and content with the workshop and many of them even enquired about the enrollment in regular Warli classes !! Holding a workshop in the midst of other workshops being held by big names like CRY really gave us a boost. We were really lucky to get this opportunity. The happy faces and the eagerness of the children gave us all a very satisfying experience.”
