Jaya He Carnival
India’s rich artistic and cultural heritage does not receive its due. In
spite of the wealth of art forms, the diverse and deep-rooted cultural
traditions, Indians and the world at large, do not do enough to celebrate
Indian art and artisans. Paaoolkhuna is an attempt to remedy this. Designed as
a 2.5 month long festival at Mumbai’s Terminal 2, CSIA, Paaoolkhuna aims to give centre stage to Maharashtrian history,
art, culture, food and people.
Paaoolkhuna - Imprints of Maharashtra
CSMIA's Terminal 2 (T2), visited by over 65000 national and international
travellers on a daily basis is home to the Jaya He GVK New Museum. This museum,
unlike traditional museums, is spread across 2 lakh sq.ft. of wall space and
features art from across the country. It has been widely appreciated by
travellers and invites every person to glimpse and develop an appreciation for
art. Unlike traditional museums, which require dedicated visits, the Jaya He
GVK New Museum brings art to the individual. It is therefore unique and
inclusive with the clear intent of showcasing the best of India and promoting
art. The Jaya He Carnival, hosted by the museum, is an opportunity to expand
the opportunity and level of engagement through additional artworks, displays,
featured performances and sharing of information.
In 2019, this Carnival will take the form of Paaoolkhuna, and be operational from 15th May to the end of July.
ABOUT THE FESTIVAL:The festival will
be centred around 75 days from 15th May to end July 2019. It is part
of an international event – the International Council of Museum’s (ICOM)
International Museum Day. Scheduled for 18th May 2019, the theme for
this day is Museums as Cultural hubs – The Future of Tradition. In 2018, more
than 40,000 museums participated in ICOM’s International Museum Day from across
158 countries.
