Agra Arts Festival
A multidisciplinary cultural festival bringing together artists, students, and communities in Agra.
About the Festival
The Agra Arts Festival emerged from a simple need—to create space for art, dialogue, and alternative narratives in a city often reduced to monuments. Co-curated with NID Ahmedabad and KrantiNari, the festival brought together 50+ artists, storytellers, historians, designers, and musicians.
Rooted in Kala Kutir, the festival transformed the city into a living cultural site—where students, practitioners, and communities came together to create, perform, and engage.
