Indian Summer Festival features musicians, storytellers, and creators
The Indian Summer Festival (ISF), is back for another season, but this time around, events will be hosted online.
“We have always recognized the transformative power of the arts, and it is clear in this crisis that people have turned once more to the arts, for levity, for solace, to make sense of our predicament and imagine our futures,” says the ISF.
“We will present a series of carefully curated events that will help our audience feel a sense of solidarity and purpose in creating a post-pandemic world that is not a return to normalcy as we knew it, but as we can reimagine and remake it.”
In celebration of their 10th anniversary, the festival decided to host 10 digital events over 10 weeks. Until July 18, the audience has a chance to experience connecting with Grammy Award-winning musicians to economists to culinary experts.
Here are the upcoming events you can still check out.
