Prakriti Foundation

In the last nineteen years, Prakriti Foundation has worked to explore identity through history and heritage, art and cultural expression. In a city accustomed to a regular diet of classical performance, Prakriti has been the space where scholars, researchers, artists, critics, poets and filmmakers have been able to present their work to those who engage with it on serious terms. Our lecture demonstrations, poetry readings, film screenings and intimate performances continue to dot the Chennai calendar.

Apart from events across various performing and non-performing art forms, the foundation has been conducting eight major festivals, currently of which four are still ongoing along with one biennial awards for contemporary dance.
