Vasundhara, an environmental arts festival, weaves together environmental education and awareness with music, film, performance, visual and healing arts to honor our earth-(vasundhara).
In participation with the Dunagiri Foundation and Wild and Scenic Environmental Film Festival, we strive to bring cultures and people of all ages together, to find strength in our diversity, and to provide a fully immersive four days in which we share, learn, inform, enlighten, and empower each other to take care of the riches of Mother Earth.
Combining the brilliance of artists and forward thinkers from India and around the world, our aim is to motivate our community to protect Goa. We accomplish this by presenting renowned DJ’s and live acts; a showcase of inspiring films; remarkable dance, theatre and visual art; and the workshops of key experts in waste management, permaculture, organic gardens, natural building, eco tourism, renewable energy and sustainable fishing.
Specifically focused on Goa’s ecological sustainability, Vasundhara intends to ignite our global community to take real action to protect and nurture Goa. We encourage solutions to environmental challenges in ways that are realistic and attainable, while enjoying the dance of life with play, care and RESPECT.
An example of our grass-roots effort is our commitment to providing lasting solutions to the plastic bags and plastic water bottle waste issue in Goa. We are working with various companies to provide alternatives to plastic bags. We are also working with filtered water companies to provide water filling stations in Goa, expanding the amount of available water resources for the local population with less waste.
We will also host several beach clean-up/recycling events in the months leading up to the festival. In addition to the activities & presentations at Vasundhara, we are making continued efforts to implement strategies that will help protect Goa’s flora and fauna.
We wish to inspire our community to take a stand with Vasundhara to protect and nourish her. It is our vision that the beauty we create with this festival has a ripple effect throughout our vast community and we continue to work together to live symbiotically with the land and water of Goa that has given each of us so much. We believe activism can be a celebration. So lets celebrate -vasundhara!
