ANCIENT ARTS
Why ancient Arts festival & Healing? Modern urban living has spawned a host of physical and psycho – social problems both at the individual and at the collective level. This has resulted in human society becoming increasingly ill, aggressive, and intolerant. Alleviation of such ailments through art and spirituality and the creation of a healthier happier society is the ultimate goal of our venture ‘Ancient Arts Symposium/Festival‘. It is with this vision to increase awareness for the need to encourage appreciation of art among people that this Festival/Symposium was conceptualized.
The Ancient Arts Festival is an array of multi-cultural dance and music presentations of performers while the symposium-sessions is dedicated to presenting research on the healing power of different ancient art forms.
