7th edition of three day ‘Kathakar: International Storytellers Festival’ was recently inaugurated at the Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts (IGNCA), New Delhi.
The partners for this year’s festival are the IGNCA of Union Ministry of Culture in Delhi.
Kathakar is the only oral storytelling festival in India and is a part of Ghummakkad Narain- the Travelling Literature Festival which was started under the aegis of UNESCO in 2010.
Kathakar is an attempt to not just preserve the art form but also create new audiences for the same.
