OpinionPOD: 'Serendipity Arts Festival is inviting Panaji, its people to co-author a new cultural chronicle'

'Next week, Panaji will revisit London's Poems on the Underground tradition. In shuttle cabs moving between Serendipity Arts Festival venues, six poets will share verses through intimate performances. In Panaji, SAF found more than just a venue—it uncovered a city whose very design fosters cultural communion. Its walkable streets and networked communities echoed cities like Adelaide and Edinburgh, where festivals have woven themselves into the urban fabric. As poetry travels through Panaji’s streets and art awaits a human touch to complete itself, we’re reminded that culture isn’t something that just happens to a city—it’s something the city and its people create together,' says Karanjeet Kaur, journalist and former editor of Arré, in this week's column.
