'This Serendipity festival would be our most ambitious so far'

Serendipity Arts Festival will mark a decade of championing the arts from December 12-21 in Panjim, Goa. Chairman and founder-patron of the Serendipity Arts Foundation, Sunil Kant Munjal speaks with FE about the festival this year. Edited excerpts:

- IVINDER GILL

Looking back, would you say the Serendipity Arts Foundation rivals, if not beats, the actual festival in terms of impact, considering it is fostering artists and grants?

When this journey began, the idea was not to organise just a festival. The festival was always imagined as a visible platform, but the deeper purpose was to build an ecosystem. The Serendipity Arts Festival and Serendipity Arts were interwoven in a manner that they complemented each other. The foundation’s work has a deep rooted and long-term impact, while the festival is a temporal, bold and vibrant manifestation of the same. Each stream complements the other.

What do you aim for the festival and foundation in the next decade?
