We are delighted to invite you to Kunzum Spring Fest on Sunday April 16, 2023 at Theatre Kunzum, GK2, New Delhi.
These fests are a series of literary gatherings that we put together all year round – to celebrate creativity and to promote reading. By bringing together writers, designers, editors and book lovers. We are also marking 2023 as the Year of Reading and events like these are in line with the program’s agenda.
The event will take place at Theatre Kunzum, a 125-seater events space we added to our bookstore in GK2 (New Delhi) recently.
The fest aims to provide a platform enabling both new and established authors to interact with their readers. Listen to them, interact offline, get books signed by them and more.
Live Performance by Sufi Vocalist Radhika Sood Nayak
We end the festival with a baithak with Sufi vocalist Radhika Sood Nayak accompanied by Mohit Kumar on Guitar and Chanchal Singh on Tabla, presented by SaMaPa. Radhika’s love for the poetry of Sufi mystics Baba Bulleh Shah, Sultan Bahu and Shah Hussain has led her to Mumbai Kabir Festival and Kabir Yatras in Rajasthan, Malwa, Telangana and Delhi, among other spaces. The performance will take place from 7:00 – 8:30 p.m. Open to all. No charges. But voluntary contributions welcome.
WHO CAN ATTEND / HOW TO REGISTER
Open to all. No purchases required or charges to be paid. You can just walk in with family and friends. Register here to be updated about the program and also to be reminded the evening before the event lest it slip your mind.
