 Vaidurya Pratap Sahi & Shruti Kishore Sahi at Humboldtsaal, Freiburg, Germany. The purpose of this event was to bring people from different cultures together and share their art forms. Organised once every year, this event usually comprises thirty or more artists from across ten or more countries. In 2019, from our community, Mr Vaidurya Pratap Sahi & Mrs Shruti Kishore Sahi participated in the event and read two poems. The first poem, titled “The Maulsari Tree” by Vaidurya Pratap Sahi and the second poem, titled “Gandhi” by Rabindranath Tagore. When asked about their interest in taking part in this event, the couple informed us, “We needed to talk about convergence in society along with the message of Gandhi about not fearing to dissent.” Adding to their choices of poems, the couple even mentioned, “‘The Maulsari Tree’ narrates how modernisation has changed everything around a tree located in a village while the tree remains unchanged and is willing to serve those who seek it. On the other hand, the poem about ‘Gandhi’ talks about how people shouldn’t bend to powers held by powerful institutions if they aren’t doing the right thing.” With musicians, singers, poets, and narrators, these events have brought many artists and art lovers under one roof for years now. Hoping that more artists are welcomed and encouraged in the years to come, we, on behalf of our team, would like to thank the organiser, Monika Hermann. Comments are closed.
