Banjaariyat Tour, a mini art festival, is being held by singer and songwriter Satvik Sakar at Mera Qi in Chandigarh. The event celebrates and shares stories through different art forms like poetry, storytelling, and music.
Speaking with CityWoofer, Satvik Sakar says, “I have always believed that everything that surrounds us has a story to tell and an artist is a person who tells these stories through his art. Banjaariyat is a try at bringing all these stories together through different forms of art, be it painting, storytelling, poetry or music. The name of the event comes from my song Banjaara Dil”.
Choosing to begin his tour from Chandigarh, he wants to keep the gathering limited. The event will also feature an art exhibition by local artists from Chandigarh and delicious treats provided by PixieDust Studios. The event will have three acts — a poetry performance, a storytelling performance and an original music performance.
