Presentation on the photographic series

Colorful Expression
Navigating identities: is there a relationship between Diaspora’s homeland and new land? How do diasporas express their sense of belonging in multiple societies?, Youth and their roots: what is it like to be born or grow up as a member of the diaspora; how can the youth connect with their homeland?
Bengali Festival ‘Vasanta Utsav’, heralds the coming of spring season & is an integral part of the Bengali culture. It was the great Nobel-laureate Rabindranath Tagore who, under the overwhelming influence of the colorful ‘Holi Festival’ & the beautiful spring season on his poetic mind, introduced this lovely occasion as an annual event in his Bishwabharati University in Shantiniketan. Every year, the nation & international students of the institution, attired in colorful dresses like yellow, celebrate ‘Vasanta Utsav’ in a very special way. Numbers of cultural programs, group choreography, songs & dance performances, are staged. Programs are followed by frolic, as all the students of the university & foreign visitors smear each other with colored powders & express festive wishes. 

Since its inception, ‘Vasanta Utsav’ has become a milestone of Bengali culture & has also captured international interest. Picture clicks at the ancestral house of Rabindranath Tagore in Kolkata, India.
