During Serendipity Arts Festival’s (SAF) 2024 edition, he watched a local fisherman’s family spend an entire afternoon at Thukral & Tagra’s Nafrat/Parvah installation, where visitors exchanged packages of hate for acts of care, such as a haircut.

Key Highlights

  • The grandmother, who had never attended an “art event” before, told him it reminded her of communal rituals from her village.
  • “That’s when you realise art isn’t alien to anyone,” Munjal, SAF’s founder-patron, reflects.
  • “It’s the contexts we create that either invite or exclude.” Ten years after it first began as a fairly outré and small cultural gathering, Serendipity Arts Festival isn’t fringe any more — it’s an institution.
  • When Munjal and his team launched Serendipity in 2016, sceptics questioned whether a free, large-scale interdisciplinary platform could sustain itself while maintaining artistic integrity.
  • The answer has been emphatic.
