Let art take you places...SAF 2017.

The first time I went to the place which celebrates art magnificently is Serendipity Art festival. I had a chance to participate as one of the young subcontinent artists. The preparation of the artworks was the first process of the festival. I got good financial support from the festival team for materials, research and the transport. Riyas komu’s curation allowed me to work widely with confident and freedom. For me SAF was the first international travel, so I went with lot of expectations. It was a good platform to find out my identity, creative and strength. The same time I could capture the realism of being an artist in the South Asian country. The presentations and conversations were useful to understand the situations of the subcontinent countries. And the discussions made me to think about my role as an artist. I met many other subcontinent artists and had a strong friendship with them. Many curators visited to the venue which I displayed my works. It was a good chance to familiar with them followed by I had chances to display my works in some galleries. The theatre performances, dramas, night time concerts with colorful lights, the park concerts and culinary arts also were wonderful. Especially the yellow shuttles push me to think about the value of art. I am really proud to say that ‘I participated as a young subcontinent artist at the serendipity arts festival in 2017’.
