Rock concerts and fashions shows are passé. As far as college fests are concerned, taking the lead is St Joseph’s College, it will host its annual festival ‘Visages’ in September.
“Over the years, college festivals across Bangalore are focusing more on Western culture. We have nothing against it,” said Clement D’Souza, student welfare officer of St Joseph’s College, adding, “but, our college is making an attempt to bring to light the best of Indian culture and tradition, since last year.”
In a bid to connect with the ‘other India’, they will invite students
from rural and government colleges from across Karnataka to participate in ‘Visages’.
“This time we will lay emphasis on different traditional and folk music, from various parts of the country,” said D’Souza. The festival is also seen as a platform to bring into the spotlight themes like “unity and nationalism among fellow Indians through different events”, he said.
