The Bangalore International Centre (BIC) will hold special arts, cultural, policy and children’s events to mark the first year of its shift to a new campus in Domlur.
The ‘BIC Hub’ba’, to be held on Sunday from 10 am to 7.30 pm, will feature more than 30 events under four heads. The ‘arts_culture@’ format will feature a variety of events from ‘Dark Fantasy-A sculpture’ by Natasha Sharma and Manush John to ‘Songs of Nature’ by Lokacharita, a theatre lab and a conversation between filmmaker Saeed Mirza and journalist Aakar Patel.
The Hub’ba (Hub to denote what the BIC is and ‘Ba’ for welcoming in Kannada), will also include a panel discussion on ‘Who is an Indian citizen?’, besides discussions on a range of issues related to economics and geopolitics.
Since moving to its own premises in February 2019, the 15-year-old non-profit institution has held over 250 programmes. It assumes importance at a time Bengaluru’s public spaces are shrinking.
Invariably, the event will have panel discussions on the state of Bengaluru, including its forgotten history and a present ridden with a multitude of problems.
The day will also see storytelling, origami, quiz and theatre workshop for children.
