In 2022, we returned with our cultural residency Fieldlines, partnering with 'The Forgotten Songs Collective' to host artists from Assam's Biate tribe and DJ-producer Vinayak^a who lived and created music together in the palace’s Badal Mahal during the run-up to the festival. The residency culminated with open-studio rehearsals, a traditional Biate performance on the palace rooftop and a collective multi-media performance on the final day of the festival.
Get to know one of Chennai's most recognised electronic act Vinayak^a, who represented the contemporary world at the residency,.
'Fieldlines: The Forgotten Songs Collective' was supported by Goethe Institut New Delhi as part of their MAP // AMP programme.
