The fourth edition of the annual Echoes of Earth festival in Bengaluru will have an arts and community-based edition in Mumbai as it makes its debut with two panel discussions and two performances. Themed The Sanctuary, the sole aim of the evening is to create awareness and inflict change through art, culture and music. The previous years have seen them focus on coral reefs and bugs. "This year we wanted to focus on species that are becoming extinct, such as frogs, who actually contribute a lot to the creation cycle," says festival director Roshan Netalkar.
