Prakriti
Foundation was founded by Ranvir Shah in Chennai in
1998 to host events enquiring into our cultural
heritage and inheritance. The vision behind Prakriti
was to host events that would play a catalytic role in
changing and enlarging the cultural scene in Chennai.
Thus, Prakriti Foundation saw itself typically as the
moving force behind events as diverse as music
concerts, seminars and serious scholarly discourse,
multi media events, experimental and protest cinema
and theatre festivals. In the last nine 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.  |
