"Sounds Like Art" invites participants to explore how art can be felt beyond just seeing or hearing. With original live music, simple drawing exercises, and open conversation, the session encourages a natural connection between sound and color.

It stands out for several reasons:

● It combines music and visual art into one shared experience.

● It’s open to everyone and encourages instinct over skill.

● It values personal interpretation, letting each person connect with sound and color in their own way.

● It turns listening and seeing into an active, expressive act.

Cyanotype Workshop.........A Historic Photographic Printing Process with Kiran Kallur

Sun 30th Nov ‘25 10:30 am - 1:30 pm

Cyanotype is a photographic printing process that dates back to 1842, discovered by scientist Sir John Herschel. It was famously used by botanist Anna Atkins, who created the first photographic book using cyanotype prints of plants. The process involves coating paper with a light-sensitive solution, placing objects or negatives on top, and exposing them to sunlight. When developed with water, the images appear in a striking blue hue.

Kiran Kallur is a photographer and mountaineer with over a decade of experience in photography, filmmaking, and alternative photographic processes. His work has appeared in The New York Times, Al Jazeera, and other international publications, capturing stories from the mountains and remote landscapes.

Fees: ₹ 2,200/- (all materials incl.)
