Kala Ghoda Festival 2020 - What to expect

The Kala Ghoda Festival is set to come back this year to take over the streets of south Mumbai. It will feature a host of festivities including contemporary artworks, inspirational talks by esteemed personalities and performances from various artists. It is also reported that this year’s event will be extended till the Cross Maidan Park unlike that of last year’s where it was closed at the steps of The Asiatic Society Library.

It is also worth noting that the 21st edition of the art festival has been entirely crowdfunded using the platform Ketto this year, doing away with the old sponsorship pattern which had been followed for the past 20 years. According to Nicole Mody, festival coordinator, the event will be as amazing, as visually inspiring, and as creatively exhilarating as it has always been, despite all the differences.
