Saturday June 13th
Mandala Makers Festival
7:00pm - 9:00pm
Mandala South Asian Performing Arts presents emerging artists working within and beyond South Asian traditions and culture through the Mandala Makers Festival. Originally scheduled June 13 and 14 at the Green Line Performing Arts Center, the festival's content instead will be available June 13 and 14 through Mandala's all-new digital platform honoring South Asian emerging artists, accessible at mandalaarts.org.
The festival will feature perspectives from participating artists as they navigate their own processes during the COVID-19 crisis, as well as the artists' portfolios and range of artistic experiences. Work ranges from rehearsal footage and testimonials to short films and live collaborations. On June 13 and 14, audiences will have an opportunity to tune in to live performances and interactive talk-backs with festival artists.
"While the Makers Festival supports performing artists, it also emphasizes collaborations with other artistic genres, such as visual art, writing, and more," explained Mandala Program Manager and Principal Artist Ashwaty Chennat, the festival's curator. "The festival's goal is to create a space where artists generate dialogue, support each other's work in meaningful ways, and share within a safe community. With our 'shelter-at-home' circumstances, the festival has become a space to support the unfolding processes, experimentation, and resilience of artists during the uncertainty of the pandemic."
The Makers Festival includes the following artists offering a combination of live and prerecorded presentations, artist talk-backs and Q&As:
