Serendipity Goa
Serendipity Arts Festival (SAF) is one of the largest multi-disciplinary arts initiatives in the South Asian region. It was founded in 2016 by Sunil Kant Munjal, chairman of Hero Enterprise. It spans the visual, performing and culinary arts, whilst exploring genres with film, live arts, literature and fashion. Besides the core content, which is conceptualized by an eminent curatorial panel, the Festival has various layers of programming, in the form of educational initiatives, workshops, special projects, and institutional engagements. The festival’s inter-disciplinary approach has been reported in Indian media, along with its impact on “India’s art scene”. The sixth edition of Serendipity Arts Festival will take place in Panaji, Goa from 15 to 22 December 2024.
