Themed 'Art Leads,' SICAFA unfolds from March 11 to 18, 2025, showcasing an extraordinary convergence of creativity and innovation. This inaugural edition boasts an impressive lineup of ten performances, harmoniously blending contemporary and traditional art forms.
Throughout history, art has served as a powerful catalyst for transformation, challenging societal norms and shaping cultural development. Ahmedabad University presents The Sabarmati International Contemporary Arts Festival (SICAFA) and invites you to contemplate the dynamic role of art in reflecting, shaping, and propelling human progress. In an era marked by rapid technological, cultural shifts, the concept of SICAFA'S curatorial theme 2025, ART LEADS, underscores the profound impact of creative expression on forging new pathways - emotionally, intellectually, and philosophically. This festival explores how artists, through their diverse mediums and voices, guide us toward new understandings, offering questioning perspectives that inspire action. From traditional to contemporary forms, art has historically served as a beacon for transformation and envisioning future possibilities. Whether through the poignant brushstrokes of a painter, the staged debates of theatrical performances, the bold statements of street art, or the immersive realms of virtual experiences, art pushes boundaries and expands our perceptions. Art Leads aims to present a rich tapestry of artistic expressions. Each work showcased in SICAFA serves as both a response to its time and a positive catalyst for the future.
