St Anne’s High School, Fort, is launching a vibrant new tradition tomorrow with its first-ever inter-school festival, Anne’s Aurora. This exciting cultural event is designed to foster talent across linguistic boundaries, featuring competitions and performances in Hindi, Marathi, and English.
It promises to be a memorable celebration of creativity and collaborative fun. Danica D’Souza (right), student and chairperson in conversation with the diarist said, “This is a call to awaken the fire that lies dormant within — the fire of curiosity, creativity, courage and connection. We have nearly 10 schools from South Mumbai, making it a contingent of 450 people, who are participating and to make it a wholesome event. We have something for everyone, including an online fashion show for teachers as well.”

Reclaiming voices in Govandi

The Govandi Arts Festival is an annual community-led cultural movement, aimed at transforming and celebrating the socio-spatial narrative of the people. It is a powerful platform for the community to reclaim their identity, moving beyond the label of a ‘ghetto’ by showcasing their spirit and resilience through art. Like last year, this edition (December 10-14th) features a culmination of year-round creative interventions, including mentorship programs for youth in disciplines like film, theatre, photography, and rap, as well as artist residencies. “This is the second edition of the festival, and we have a few interesting things lined up. For instance, this year we have rounded up 100 kids who will be drawing murals, art and tapestry with the help of a mentor. This year we also have the transgender community who will draw a mural. The whole idea of this was to showcase art and talent of people as their own perspective on topics such as climate change and art,” said Natasha Sharma, co-founder and curator of Govandi Arts Festival.

Walking is a pedestrian’s right, and Chakala Walkability initiative is advocating just that. The project will focus on improving walkability. The key routes include Andheri-Ghatkopar Link Road, Guru Hargovindji Marg and Cardinal Gracias Road.
“This is the first time we’re doing such a large-scale initiative. We have a few respected experts assigned per ward, and they will help in surveying, sampling data and keeping track of signal intersection to make sure it is easy for pedestrians,” mentions Vedant Mhatre (above), programme manager, Walking Project.
